Fire-fighting Equipment
EFFECT OF NEW FACTORIES ORDER
DWNERS and occupiers of more than >20,000 factories in Britain which are ;ubject to the Factories Acts have to jrovide adequate fire-fighting equip- nent from December 1. That is one effect of an Order made by the Minis- er of Labour and published on Octo- )er 11 bringing the fire provisions of he Factories Act, 1959, into operation m that day. The Order also brings into :orce a provision requiring fire alarms o be installed in about 10.000 more 'actories than are at present required o have them, and for the testing and ;xamination of those alarms periodi- :ally — normally at least once every hree months. Other important pro- visions of the Act which become effec- ive are those transferring from district :ouncils to fire authorities the duty of insuring that certain factories have idequate means of escape, and em- Dowering fire brigade officers to enter 'actories when authorised by a factory nspector, for the purpose of assisting he inspector on fire matters, and en- ibling the Minister of Labour to make regulations about fire prevention and ire fighting.

International Quarantine
DISTRIBUTION OF DISEASE
ALTHOUGH there have been notable improvements in the amount of illness and incidence of deaths from quaran- tincblc diseases in the past four years (1956-60), foci of infection and distri- bution of those diseases throughout the world have changed little. According to information assembled for the com- mittee on international quarantine of the World Health Organisation, which met in Geneva, October 17-22, the pre- sent situation of the six quarantinable diseases is as follows: — Cholera: Usu- ally present only in East Pakistan and some parts of India and neighbouring states, the disease also appeared in 1960 in Burma. West Pakistan and

Afghanistan. Plague: Many foci of wild rodent plague still persists in Asia. Africa and the Americas. Nevertheless annual averages of deaths from the dis- ease dropped from 170,300 in the years 1919-28, to less than 200 in the 1954- 58 period. In 1959 a total of only eighty-three deaths was registered in ten countries of those continents. Small- pox: India and East Pakistan continue to be the main focus. In 1958 they ac- counted for 218,000 cases out of the world total of 242,000. In 1959 the figures fell to about 50,000 out of 74,000. More than any other disease, smallpox is liable to be imported, especially by air, into countries norm- ally free of it. Yellow fever: In spite of the continuing increase in air traffic, yellow fever has not spread outside Africa and America. It exists princi- pally as jungle yellow fever which affects monkeys and is rarely contracted by man. The annual number of cases is now low, although an epidemic oc- curred at the end of 1959 in parts of Ethiopia and in the Blue Nile and Upper Nile provinces of the Sudan, where at least 118 cases were notified with eighty-seven deaths. Typhus: Con- trary to general belief, typhus is not re- gressing in Africa, the Federation of Ethiopia and Eritrea now being the principal focus. In the Americas, the improvement in the situation is con- stant and cases dropped from 25.000 a year in 1946-50 to 7,500 in 1956-60. A similar situation may be observed in Asia since the Korean War, although national statistics are incomplete. Since the end of the Second World War there has been a considerable re- duction in the number of cases regis- tered in Europe, and although no figures are available for the U.S.S.R., non-official reports indicate that the disease has almost disappeared there. Relapsing fever: Since the introduction of modern insecticides, it is an easy matter to prevent relapsing fever, which is transmitted by lice and ticks. Since 1949 the only cases notified in Europe were two in Northern Ireland in 1956. In the Americas, there were two doubtful cases, and hardly any in Asia. Although in Africa the number of cases seems to be on the increase the disease does not constitute a seri- ous problem except in the Federation of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Milk Composition
PROPOSALS TO PROMOTE IMPROVEMENTS
PROPOSALS to raise the food value of milk were made in the report of the Cook Committee on the Composition of Milk, published on September 21 under the title " Milk Composition in the United Kingdom" (Cmnd. No. 1147). The adoption of certain of the Committee's recommendations would require changes in the law, and the Government departments concerned are now considering the report in detail and seeking the views on it of repre- sentative organisations. The commit- tee's main conclusions include the fol- lowing: — The consumption of milk solids other than fat (known collec- tively as s.n.f.), at least by some groups of the population, should be increased. Changes in the fat content of milk are
not recommended; the evidence of a link between either atheroma or coron- ary disease and milk fat is regarded as suggestive, but not conclusive. A close examination of the available records shows that both fat and s.n.f. contents of milk have been declining gradually over the past thirty years in England and Wales, though they have remained comparatively static in Scotland. The belief is expressed that most milk pro- ducers could improve the composition of their supply by changes in herd management if given a sufficient incen- tive to do so, and that the dairying industry should seek to improve the s.n.f. content of the milk supply. As a first step, the Milk Marketing Boards should pay less than the norma] price for supplies deficient in s.n.f. To en- able that to be done, the composition of milk supplies from farms would need to be tested regularly by the dairy or depot to which they were first consigned. Measures taken by the Milk Marketing Boards should lead to a general improvement in milk composi- tion, and it should be possible within ten years to prohibit the retail sale of whole milk containing less than 3 per cent, fat or 8-5 per cent, s.n.f.
Hospital Building
EXPANDING PROGRAMME TO CONTINUE
THERE are now over 180 major hospi- tal schemes in England and Wales, each costing over a quarter of a mil- lion pounds, at various stages of build- ing or planning. That illustration of the increasing tempo of hospital building was given by Miss Edith Pitt (Parlia- mentary Secretary, Ministry of Health) when she visited the new West Cumber- land Hospital, Hensingham, near White- haven, on September 22. She said that the considerably expanded, and still ex- panding, programme, covering both the construction of new hospitals and the modernisation and extension of exist- ing ones, was now evident in many parts of the country. Included in the 180 major schemes chosen by the Min- ister were thirty-four new hospitals (in- cluding the West Cumberland) of which nine were partially completed, eight had been started, and seventeen were at various stages of planning. Two new dental hospitals were also being planned. The new West Cumberland Hospital, of which the second stage of ward accommodation providing 100 new beds has been in use since last December, will eventually have 416 ad- ditional beds.

Hospital Pharmacists
SALARY RISE SOON ?
" HOSPITAL pharmacists are poised on the threshold of better things, and if all goes well, I anticipate that we shall be able to report to members in the near future that a salary scale com- mensurate with our skill and responsi- bility will be introduced." That was stated by Mr. R. J. Power (chairman) at the annual meeting of the Associa- tion of Hospital and Public Pharma-
cists, held in Dublin on October 16. Stating that professional status could be improved only by the implementa- tion of a proper salary scale, the chair- man outlined the ways and means by which it was hoped to have such a scale introduced shortly. He said that in order to ensure that the Associa- tion's efforts met with complete suc- cess, it was essential that they should have a 100 per cent, membership, and he appealed to all members to take an active interest in the work of the or- ganisation so that they could enter into future negotiations secure in the know- ledge that they had the support of the entire body of hospital pharmacists. Mr. Power was re-elected Chairman, and Mr. P. Fahey was elected Vice- chairman. Miss Anne McCarthy was elected Secretary to replace Miss J. L. Burke who asked to be relieved of office due to pressure of business. Tri- butes were paid to the efficient manner in which Miss Burke had discharged her duties during the year. Mrs. E. V. Browne was elected Treasurer. The fol- lowing were elected to the committee, Mrs P. Darcy. Mrs. M. Toomey. Mrs. M Somers, Miss J. L. Burke, Messrs. D. O'Shea, M. Lohan. R. Daly. P. J. Nolan, J. Roche. P. M. Browne, and P. Fullam. Mr. J. J. Coffey said he would like to see a few more general meetings of the Association being held during the year and other members spoke in favour of having more meet- ings in the provinces. Commandant B. J. Anderson reported on the pro- gress made by the committee set up to investigate the possibility of establish- ing a representative pharmaceutical association (see C. & D., October 22, p. 494"). The chairman said that the aims of the committee had the ap- proval of the Association which wished it the best of luck. It was decided to hold the next meeting in Thurles.

TOPICAL REFLECTIONS
By Xrayser
Shoes and sealing wax
Not having heard the B.B.C. television programme on October 18, during which the marketing methods of the British pharmaceutical indus- try came under review, I was glad of the opportunity of reading your report of the proceedings on p. 498. I note that your heading says "An argument on B.B.C. television," and a reading of the matter suggests that the subject generated more heat than was seemly, making it quite inappro- priate for you to use the title " a discussion." What the viewing public were able to make of it all I have no notion, but one is left with the un- comfortable feeling that the pharmaceutical industry was very much on the defensive and extremely sensitive to criticism. That is due, in large part, to the persistent attacks on the cost of the pharmaceutical service within a National Health Service, successive Chancellors of the Exchequer and Ministers of Health having lost no opportunity to malign both the medicine maker and the medicine taker. Reference was made to replies by speakers at the opening of an exhibition in London to much of the criticism levelled against the industry. Among the replies quoted was one to the effect that the cost of drugs under the National Health Service is small compared with our expenditure in other things such as the cinema, meat and footwear. I accept the fact, but the Government may well argue that, like the flowers of spring, it has nothing to do with the case, for the Government is not asked to find, from public money raised by levy and taxation, a national bill for the public's entertainment, its food, or its shoes. It does have to pay the drug bill, over which it has considerably less control than the individual who chooses his cinema seat, his joint or his footwear. I am not defending Government attacks on a ready made target, but any consumer of goods is entitled to see that he is getting value for his money.
Value
How is value for money to be assessed in relation to the drug bill? It is not to be regarded solely in terms of cash, and there, in the view of many, is where the Government errs. It takes the target of one large single figure, and bemoans its size in relation to previous years, castigating in the process that public throat which swallows cascades of medicine and avalanches of pills. It does not publish, in the same context, details of serious illness averted, early return to work, or shorter stay in hospital. If the Government chooses to departmentalise, the drug industry might find a way of collating statistics more likely to impress than a comparison of the cost to the individual of his cinema, his meat, his footwear, his football pools, his transport to work, or any number of things. But the discussion centred largely on methods of marketing by advertising and sampling. In defending the sampling, Mr. L. M. Spalton, B.Pharm., M.P.S.. who put forward the industry's case, said : " If the doctor would use them (the samples) as they were intended to be used, and hand them out to patients who need them, he would save a lot of the cost of prescribing them on the National Health Service." I cannot see that argument impres- sing the Government, though it may make some impression on pharmacists who dispense National Health Service medicines.
New Zealand
I have no doubt that Government officials in this country have read the annual report (p. 511) of the New Zealand Department of Health. It is a well constructed and well reasoned document, and it points out that the fact that there is a health service with " free " medicine is not the reason for the prevalence of the taking of medicines, as is so often suggested. The report makes a wide survey of conditions in other countries where no such service exists, and concludes that there is no connection between the rise in drug expenditure and " free " medicine, though it does not say that the high cost in some countries might be precisely because of the absence of a health service and a consequent fear of disabling illness.

Supply at this stage is restricted to hospitals and industrial concerns, since the product is not yet included in the Drug Tariff schedule of authorised appliances.
Tablets Against Colds. — Allen & Hanburys, Ltd., Bethnal Green, Lon- don, E.2, have launched a new speci- ality Capriton tablets as a decongestant, anti-allergic and antipyretic preparation against colds, sinusitis and rhinitis. The use of the tablets avoids the need for supplementary topical therapy with nasal drops, sprays or inhalants. There are understood to be no " rebound " congestion and no mucosal damage. Each tablet contains 2 mgm. of chlor- pheniramine maleate, 10 mgm. of phenylephrine hydrochloride, 230 mgm. of aspirin, 160 mgm. of phenacetin and 30 mgm. of caffeine. The pack is a tube of twelve tablets. The outer contains twenty-four tubes.

Antibiotic in Disposable Syringe. — Erythrocin-I.M. is the new erythromy- cin compound (erythromycin ethyl succinate) of Abbott Laboratories, Ltd., Baker Street, London, W.l, dis- solved in polyethylene glycol. It is
prepared specifically for intramuscular use, Compared with other soluble de- rivatives of erythromycin (designed primarily for intravenous use) the ethyl succinate is claimed relatively non-irritating. Erythrocin-I.M. is stable at room temperature and comes ready for injection. If it has been refrigerated, it should be warmed slightly before use, to make the solution less viscous. The preparation should not be used intravenously or subcutaneously. Ery- throcin-I.M. in disposable Abboject syringe is supplied in 2-mil sizes con- taining 100 mgm. of erythromycin and 1-mil size containing 50 mgm. of ery- thromycin.
Antihistaminic and Antipruritic. —
A new compound, 10-(l-methyl-3-pyr- rolidinylmethyl) phenothiazine (meth- dilazine) for which high antihistaminic and exceptional antipruritic activities are claimed, is being launched by The British Drug Houses, Ltd., Graham Street, London, N.l, under the name Dilosyn. It is available as tablets for adult administration and as a peach- flavoured syrup for children. Dilosyn is understood to have provided effec- tive symptomatic relief in a wide vari- ety of allergic conditions and in allergic and non-allergic pruritus in- cluding that accompanying chickenpox. Its advantages are its rapid absorption and consequential prompt relief and its sustained action with low-toxicity and minimal side effects. The tablets (8-mgm. compression-coated) are issued in bottles of twenty-five and 250, and the syrup in bottles of 4 fl. oz. (4 mgm. per teaspoonful).
A Deterrent against Smoking. — Uni- Pharma, Ltd.. 109 Kingsway, London. W.C.2, are making available in Britain the smoking deterrent speciality Lobi- dan, manufactured by Uni-Chemie at Zurich, Switzerland. Each tablet of Lobidan contains 2 mgm. of lobeline sulphate, 125 mgm. of magnesium car- bonate and 180 mgm. of tribasic cal- cium phosphate. Principle of the pro- duct is that cross-tolerance exists be- tween lobeline and nicotine. Regular smoking produces a nicotine blood- level and the nicotine becomes a con- stant part of metabolism. When the concentration of blood and tissue is reduced, a " psychic yearning " for nico- tine is created and the mechanism of addiction is thus set up. Lobeline is understood not to give rise to such habituation. When, therefore, nicotine is replaced by lobeline, the usual nico- tine concentration appears psychically to exist, and the yearning for further nicotine ingestion is significantly re- duced or even eliminated. Special buf- fering in Lobidan reduces the effective dose of lobeline to a maximum of 8 mgm. daily and thus, it is understood, eliminates unpleasant side reactions. Lobidan is claimed not to alter the taste of an occasional cigarette.
Hair Bleaches. — Rapidol, Ltd.. Inecto House, 27 Dover Street, Lon- don, W.l, announce the launching of two new Inecto products: Inecto creme hair lightener, claimed easy to use and to leave the hair in a gleaming condi- tion; and Inecto lanolised Hi-lift, a
powder bleach that provides a " per- 1 feet" base for pastel tints and rinses. I

Giant-size Talc. — A honeysucklel talcum powder is the latest addition] to the " Margo's " range of productsl of Sidney Margolis, Ltd.. Hemp Row.l London, S.E.I 7. The product is in al multicolour tin with a design in whichl the honeysuckle pattern predominates.] The text is in deep red as are the capl and top of the tin.
A CENTENARY CELEBRATED Overseas Guests at a Dinner
MANY distinguished guests attended a dinner in the City of London on October 21 to celebrate the centenary of Thomas Christy & Co., Ltd. Sir Hugh Linstead (a secretary of the Pharmaceutical Society), replying to the toast of the guests which had been pro- posed by the chairman (Mr. Cecil B. Christy, a grandson of the founder), mentioned that there were overseas guests present from Sweden, Switzer- land and France. He had a special greeting — in French — for Mr. F. Arnal (chairman of the French section of the Franco-British Pharmaceutical Com- mission) and Mr. P. Martinot.
The toast to the " Past, Present and Future of Thos. Christy & Co." was proposed by Mr. R. L. Demuth, who said that it was " no accident that we find the company as vigorous, as well housed, and as successful as at any time in its 100 years' history." Throughout the period there had run the thread of the Christy family. Mr. Demuth also paid tribute to Mr. George Roberts (joint managing director) who, with a few employees, had kept their com- pany going after the premises in Old Swan Lane were totally destroyed in 1941 at a time when Mr. Christy was " in uniform."
Individual enterprise and ingenuity had been the motive force behind the achievement of the Christy centenary; its history had given evidence of its ability to advance towards its bicen- tenary. Today there was a " commer- cial revolution in which ideas and tastes are determined by the advertiser and attendant services are being prostituted to serve him." Mr. Demuth was certain that the company would not yield their personality too readily but would have the courage of their inheritance to sac- rifice, in part at least, ready rewards by sometimes taking a stand and back- ing it.
He believed they would marry their independent individuality with the trend of the times to prosecute the new task as successfully as in the past.

SILICONES, by virtue of their water- resistant properties, are gaining in- creasing favour as constituents of phar- maceutical " barrier " creams and applications. How they are produced commercially was outlined by Dr. R. A. Gregory (managing director, Mid- land Silicones, Ltd.) in a paper presen- ted to the recent meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (see C. & D., September 10, p. 296). Dr. Gregory said the manufac- ture of silicones was essentially a post- war development in the field of chemi- cals. Production had steadily increased until in 1960 the total annual world output was estimated at about 20,000 tons, valued at £40-50 millions. The products, ranging in appearance from oils and greases to hard resin-like materials, were derivatives of elemental silicon which, in turn, was derived from sand.
The first stage in manufacture in- volved the reaction of silicon (a hard silvery grey " metallic " substance ob- tained by electric-furnace smelting of sand and coke) with methyl chloride. The product was ground to a fine pow- der which, on heating with methyl chloride to 300° C, reacted with it to form a mixture of colourless fuming liquids — the chlorosilanes. (Other types of chlorosilane could be obtained by reacting silicon with compounds of benzene.) The mixtures of chlorosilanes thus obtained were then subjected to a complex series of distillation pro- cesses in a plant resembling a small- scale oil refinery, in order to separate them into purified components. Chloro- silanes were converted into silicones by reaction with water. The two liquids were stirred together in a glass-lined vessel, whereupon the mixture separa- ted into two layers, a silicone oil on the top and an acid layer underneath. The types of silicone oil obtained de-

Holiday Contest Winner. — Vick International, Ltd., held a reception in London on October 12, to present the winner of their Rayfilta holiday con- test with the prize of £850. The winner, Mrs. L. M. Tonks, Hall Green, Bir- mingham, travelled to London the day before, and stayed overnight as the guest of the company. Competitors were asked to place in order the eight attributes of Rayfilta sunburn preven- tion cream and to compose a slogan. The chemists who provided Mrs. Tonks with her entry form (Har- ber (Chemists), Ltd., Kings Heath, Birmingham) received a prize of £50. Second-prize winners, of which there were six, each had the choice of a scooter or £150; the supplying chemists each received £25.
pended on the type of chlorosilane used in the reaction.
The crude silicone oil was washed free from acid and further treated in a variety of ways according to type of finished product required. Oils rang- ing in consistency from free-running liquids to heavy syrups were produced, and by mixing the oils with metallic soaps or other fillers a range of greases could be obtained. Other silicones were produced as varnishes which, after application followed by drying and baking, would impart hard adherent films to many surfaces. Stiff jellies or gums could also be produced that de- veloped rubbery properties when mixed with finely powdered fillers such as silica and then vulcanized. Because of their relatively high cost, those materials could not at present com- pete with similar non-silicone mater- ials, under ordinary conditions of use. However, they had the valuable property of maintaining their action over a wide range of temperatures, at which conventional materials might be frozen hard and brittle or burnt and re- duced to a smouldering mass. Through- out the world a large amount of re- search work was in progress on the production of new and improved types of silicones. Some had already com- pleted their laboratory trials and were in small-scale production. Many more were in various stages of development. The silicone manufacturing industry in this country had grown from nothing to a multi-million-pound venture em- ploying a thousand people in the short period of ten years, and it seemed cer- tain that a further vigorous expansion would take place during coming years.
(The chemical and physical proper- ties of silicones and their use in phar- macy, medicine and cosmeticology is dealt with in detail in the C. & D. pub- lication " The Pharmacy of Silicones.")

from £3,641,360 to £4,509,169, after substantially heavier depreciation. The net profit, after tax and minority inter- ests, amounted to £2,020,620 (against £1,800,527). The directors state that they do not expect to reach the same exceptional level of profit in the cur- rent year, but have no reason to doubt that they will recommend a mainten- ance of the dividend.
SANGERS, LTD. — In a promised preliminary statement to members issued with the full report for the year ended February 29, Mr. John Sanger (chairman) says that in spite of appre- ciable increase in turnover, the profits fell considerably. As he stated, in the previous year, sales were most encour- aging to date but again fell away during the last three months, mainly due to the mild weather. There had been inten- sified competition over the last two years due to a number of companies, some of which are quite new to the trade, having entered the field in most areas for the distribution of pharma- ceuticals. In order to meet that com- petition, the company had been in- volved in heavy extra costs throughout the year, particularly in the transport section. In addition, owing to local competition, it was decided to open two country branches. Wages had again risen during the current year so that the total remuneration to salaried and weekly staff amounted to 60 per cent, of the gross profit of the company. " The ever-increasing overheads are a burden to all companies, particularly when trading on fixed margins of pro- fit," adds the statement. As stated pre- viously (C. & D., October 22, p. 499), group net profits contracted from £187,269 to £131,862 in the year ended February 29.
Possible Mergers
IN the financial news again this week have been Howards & Sons. Ltd., and The British Drug Houses, Ltd., each the subject of merger rumours. The chairman of Messrs. Howards (Mr. T. W. Howard), told The Times that he hoped to make an announcement about a merger of his company " by the end of this month." The Daily Mail on October 25 reported that share dealers were confident that there would be a merger between Glaxo Labora- tories, Ltd., and The British Drug Houses, Ltd., and gave a basis of the share exchange recommendation, but The Guardian financial correspondent reported the next day that Messrs. Glaxo had denied having talks and that they had consequently made no offer to The British Drug Houses. Ltd.
LEGAL REPORTS
Charged Under Wrong Section
Because he was charged under a wrong section of the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933, Mr. Cyril Teasdale, M.P.S., 59 High Street, Wombwell. Barnsley, won his appeal in the Queen's Bench Divisional Court on October 20 against a conviction of an offence in relation to a dispensing of Urolucosil tablets. He was awarded costs. The justices for the petty ses- sional division of Staincross. sitting at Barnsley. had fined Mr. Teasdale £50
after he had pleaded guilty to a sum- mons alleging that on October 1, 1959, " he. being an authorised seller of poisons, unlawfully dispensed a medi- cine, Urolucosil tablets, otherwise than under the direct and personal super- vision of a registered pharmacist, con- trary to Sections 19 (5) and 24 of the Act." Lord Parker (the Lord Chief Justice) said it was found that an em- ployee, without Mr. Teasdale's instruc- tions and without the supervision of a registered pharmacist, dispensed some of the tablets. Mr. Teasdale in fact pleaded guilty, acting on advice. . He had since received other advice. Lord Parker said the case raised a highly technical point but he had come to the conclusion that Mr. Teasdale should have been charged under Section 18 of the Act, Section 19 being an exemp- tion clause. " It is stretching the words to say that provisions which afford an exemption are provisions which have to be complied with," his lordship added. "There are no merits so far as I can see in the application. But I think Mr. Teasdale was wrongly charged and the conviction must be quashed." Messrs. Justices Ashworth and Elwes agreed.
Company and Manager Fined
A Belfast housewife, who had been taking Drinamyl tablets for eight years, told the Belfast Summons Court on October 11 she could not do with- out them. Mrs. Jean Davis, 32 Lawn- brook Square, Belfast, was giving evidence in a case in which Cornett & Co., Ltd., pharmaceutical chemists. Woodvale Road, Belfast, were found guilty of supplying her with Drinamyl tablets without a prescription given by a qualified medical practitioner. The firm was fined £25. A similar penalty was imposed on Robert McGrath, M. P. S.N. I., manager, who was sum- moned for aiding and abetting.
Mrs. Davis admitted to the court that although she was now receiving hospital treatment, as an habituate of the drug her desire for it was so great that even during a recent weekend she had borrowed four tablets from a girl who was getting them on a doctor's prescription. Mrs. Davis said that a year ago her doctor prescribed the tab- lets because she was suffering from depression. But later he stopped the prescription and she changed to an- other doctor, although he, too, would not give her any Drinamyl. She con- tinued: " I have been getting the tablets at Cornett's on the Woodvale Road without a prescription. The man in the shop is called Bobby and I see him in court today. Sometimes I got fifty tablets for five shillings and sometimes twenty-four for 2s. 6d. When I got them I always asked for Drinamyl. He never asked me for a prescription." Mrs. Davis identified tablets in a small black and white box as the tablets she had purchased. She identified a pre- scription as the one she left in Cornett's that day. Later Mrs. Davis said that she had been in Cornett's pharmacy about a dozen times altogether. Each time she received the tablets there were no markings on the box and the word Drinamyl did not appear. She admitted to Mr. J. K. Pringle. who represented the defen-

dants, that she knew she was not sup- posed to take the tablets without a doctor's prescription.
Mr. John N. Patterson, pharmaceuti- cal inspector, Ministry of Home Affairs, who brought the prosecution, said his experience of the drug was that people could become habituates of it and it was decided to make the tab- lets unobtainable without a prescrip- tion. Detective Sergeant Samuel
Davidson said that when he questioned Mr. McGrath about the sale of the drug he denied it. He could not recall Mrs. Davis and said he had sold only two or three tablets to women with prescriptions. In evidence Mr. McGrath said he did not know Mrs. Davis. She had never been in his shop and he had never sold her any Drin- amyl tablets. Shown a prescription bearing Mr. Davis's name, Mr.
McGrath admitted that it had been dispensed in his shop. He added that there were no other tablets of a simi- lar description on sale in the United Kingdom. If anybody got heart-shaped blue tablets from his shop they must be Drinamyl. Miss M. Morton, an unqualified assistant, who had been with the company for four years, said she had never seen Mrs. Davis in the shop and did not know her.
LEGISLATION CONCERNING MEDICINES
Public pharmacists' evidence to Working Party
A STRONG recommendation that statutory recognition should be given to the proposal by the Aitken Commit- tee that no hospital should be entirely without the services of a pharmaceu- tical chemist is included in the memor- andum submitted by the Guild of Public Pharmacists to the Interdepart- mental Working Party on legislation concerning medicines. Another funda- mental principle stated in the memor- andum is " that it should be clearly enumerated in any future revision of the National Health Service Acts that the purchase, receipt, storage and issue of medicinal substances in hospitals or health centres should be under the supervision of a pharmaceutical chemist."
The Guild has set out a number of general principles that have been borne in mind when preparing the statement, one of which decrees that " Pharma- ceutical advice should be readily avail- able at all levels of administration, i.e., hospital management committees or boards of management, boards of governors or regional boards, and at the Ministry of Health or the Depart- ment of Health." The Guild further be- lieves that " There is no good reason for any differentiation in hospitals between poisons and other medicinal sub- stances. It is desirable that all medi- cinal substances which are for internal or external use should be treated with equal care. The artificial division of these substances into classes or schedules tends to promote the idea that toxicity is an absolute rather than a relative property and that unwarran- ted liberties can be taken with certain medicinal substances simply because they are not in a particular schedule." The Guild recommends that there should be only two classes of medici- nal substances: — Drugs of addiction and the majority of medicinal sub- stances, not being drugs of addiction. That would simplify hospital procedure without any relaxation of safeguards.
The Guild comments upon certain statutes. Regarding the Radioactive Sub- stances Act, 1948, the Guild considers that as provision is made in the Act for supply through pharmaceutical channels, " no recommendations are necessary beyond the statement that pharmaceutical chemists should con- tinue to receive recognition as poten- tial distributors of radioactive sub- stances." It is suggested that the Therapeutic Substances Act, 1956, re- quires consolidation and simplification.
The Guild's only interest in the Medical Act, 1956, is to retain the wording of Clause 53 in any new sta- tute, namely, " Nothing in this Act
contained shall extend or be construed to extend to prejudice or in any way to affect the lawful occupation, trade, or business of pharmaceutical chemists and dentists, or the rights, privileges, or employment of duly licensed apothe- caries in Northern Ireland, so far as the same extend to selling, compound- ing or dispensing medicines."
The Guild is of the opinion that the Poison Rules require modification in order that they should conform with the opinions expressed in the " Aitken Report " and which were subsequently accepted by the Minister of Health. The recommendations numbers 27, 28 and 29 of the Report of the Joint sub- committee of the Standing Medical. Nursing and Pharmaceutical Advisory Committees of the Central Health Ser- vices Council on the control of Dan- gerous Drugs and Poisons in hospital, known as the " Aitken Report " (see C. & D., February 2, 1958, p. 198) re- lating to containers of medicines, should be incorporated in any modification of Poisons Rules numbers 27 and 28.
The Guild is also of the opinion that Poisons Rules No. 28 and 29 should be modified as follows: — Rule No. 28
paragraph (ii) delete " dispensing or " and delete " a person appointed for that purpose " substituting for this " a duly registered pharmaceutical chemist."
paragraph (iii) the description " sister or nurse in charge " should be clearly defined.
Rule No. 29
paragraph (i) delete " dispensing or."
paragraph (ii) delete the entire paragraph and substitute " In any institution to which the foregoing paragraph does not apply all poisons other than those issued for use within the institution must be stored under conditions pre- scribed by a pharmaceutical chemist appointed for that purpose."
paragraph (iii) to be amended as follows: " In every institution every poison, whether included in the First Schedule to these Rules or not, which is stored in the wards or departments must be stored in a cupboard (provided with a lock) reserved solely for the storage of poisons and other dangerous sub- stances. The keys to this cupboard should always be in the possession of the nurse in charge of the ward or department."
paragraph (iv) delete all words after " pharmacist." Substitute " pharma- ceutical chemist " for " pharmacist."
Add new paragraph (v) to give statutory authority to recommendation No. 33 of the Aitken Report: " A pharmaceu- tical chemist appointed to supervise the
pharmaceutical arrangements at any hospital, group of hospitals, or health centre under the control of any Hospi- tal Management Committee, Board of Management, Board of Governors, or Local Health Authority shall have dis- cretion to prescribe special storage con- ditions as set forth in Rule No. 29 (iii) for any new experimental drug which appears to him to require such safe- guard."
Add new paragraph (vi) as follows: "All samples of medicines for institutional use should be sent to the pharmaceuti- cal department."
If the Guild's recommendation that in hospitals medicines should be classi- fied as either drugs of addiction or medicinal substances not being drugs of addiction were accepted it would be necessary to re-draft the Poisons Rules, 1952, numbers 27, 28 and 29 on the above lines but making the new condi- tions apply to all medicinal substances.
In that case a new title for the statutory instrument would have to be found and the Guild suggests " The Control of Medicinal Substances in Hospital Rules."
The Guild considers that the Dan- gerous Drugs Regulations 1953, require clarification and amendment to bring them into line with existing practice.
Regulation 10 (1) (e): A definition of " sisters or acting sisters for the time being " is required.
Regulation 10 (2) and 10 (3): As the " Aitken Report " states that " no hospital should be entirely without the services of a pharmacist " and as this recommenda- tion has been accepted by the Minister of Health, those two paragraphs are, in the opinion of the Guild, inconsistent with the spirit of the " Aitken Report " and should therefore be deleted from the Regulations.
Regulation 13 (4) (b): The special pro- visions relating to certified midwives re- quire to be extended in order to incor- porate recommendations No. 35 of the " Aitken Report " which state that mid- wives working in hospitals should follow the normal hospital procedure in regard to Dangerous Drugs rather than the domi- ciliary procedure.
Regulation 17: A sister or acting sister is specifically exempted from keeping a Dangerous Drugs register in the form specified for those other persons authorised to possess and supply Dangerous Drugs.
The Report of the Joint subcommittee on the Control of Dangerous Drugs and Poisons in Hospitals recommends that a standard form of ward Dangerous Drugs record book be used nationally and the Guild suggests that this recommendation should be included in any modification of this regulation.

Trimming Sails to Retail " Winds of Change "
POLICY TRENDS DISCUSSED AT N.P.U. AREA MEETING
" IF the wind is blowing, the yachts- man's sails can be set to profit by it." And if it be a wind of change in the retail, then sales may be analysed to catch shopping trends. That was the argument developed by Mr. H. B. Coulson at an area meeting of the National Pharmaceutical Union held at Cambridge on October 16 and it repre- sents also the trend of the discussion as a whole. The meeting, the second to be held in Cambridge (the first was in 1952) differed in two important respects from previous meetings in the series. In the first place no resolutions were on the agenda paper (one resolution, circulated on a supplementary agenda paper, was withdrawn without being put). Secondly, part of the afternoon's programme was reserved for a lecture- demonstration by a non-pharmacist guest speaker.
The proceedings opened with an ad- dress of welcome from Mr. E. J. Wright as chairman of the Cam- bridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Branch of the Union, host branch to members from Beds, Bucks, Essex. Herts, Norfolk. Northants. Oxfordshire and Suffolk.
" N.P.U. Matters "
The N.P.U. chairman (Mr. Gwilym H. Hughes) then took over, losing little time in calling on Mr. S. J. Stearn (treasurer of the Union) to address members on " N.P.U. Matters." Mr. Stearn said it was always difficult to deal with something that had been said many times before, but he felt im- pelled to defend the N.P.U. against attacks that had been made against it in letters to the Press. The odds against the N.P.U. were heavy, and it was a pity that those who called for more militancy could not try taking a hand in the negotiations. The pace of today was in sharp contrast to the early days of the Union, and the officers were under a tremendous bur- den. Their brains had to be incessantly pitted against usually well informed opposition. The secretary was being called upon to perform more than any man should be asked to do.
Explaining why the N.P.U. price list had been superseded by a " calcula- tor," Mr. Stearn said the Executive had expended great effort and hund- reds of f's in efforts — eventually suc- cessful, so far as drugs were concerned, but not for dressings — to convince the Registrar that it did not infringe the Restrictive Trade Practices Act.
Schemes for joint advertising in Lon- don and other areas had fallen through, said Mr. Stearn, because the necessary 80-90 per cent, support had not been forthcoming. Some localities were still able to operate such schemes, but he asked that the advertisements should be submitted beforehand to Queen Square so that high standards could be maintained.
Mr. Coulson's contribution to the meeting was concerned with the activi- ties and potentialities of the Marketing
Policy Committee. In 1955 the Com- mittee had been set up because the Executive had become aware of three trends hostile to members. A certain school of sales managers had demanded " maximum sales points " for products previously sold almost exclusively by chemists; trade prices were too often undergoing revisions in which 2-3 per cent, was being clipped from chemists' profits; and retail index figures were showing that the increase in turnover of the multiples was two to three times that of the " private " chemist. The committee had been formed to negoti- ate with manufacturers on prices and margins; to put in members' hands the means of meeting competition; and to provide a point of liaison with manu- facturers in the marketing of their products. At the start the Committee had been suddenly hamstrung by the passing of the Restrictive Trade Prac- tices Act, under which only members themselves could take many forms of action previously open to the N.P.U. as a trade association. Nevertheless negotiations in permitted matters had taken place with dozens of firms, and the trend now seemed to be towards offering better margins to the chemist.
As members knew, the Committee had launched Nucot cotton wool, a powdered glucose and a hot-water bottle at prices to enable competition to be met. The Committee was unani- mous that that should be its guiding principle, so that housewives should always feel confident that they could buy from the private chemist as econ- omically as from the multiple. In fur- thering that aim it was willing to sponsor any line for members — but only if no suitable alternative were already available commercially. Any sponsor- ing meant treading on the corns of manufacturers — including friendly ones — but the Committee believed its mem- bers must come first, leaving products at other prices to be " sold " by the chemist at his own discretion according to circumstances.
Point of Contact
The basic fact in all competition was " consumer traffic " — the number of customers actually entering the phar- macy. The point of contact was the shop window. " Have you a modern shopfront ? Is your window well lighted ? Are your window displays topical, well thought out. eye-catch- ing ? If not, why not ? " Mr. Coulson challenged members to answer.
Should members link up with tele- vision advertising? " Yes." was his answer, if the product merited sup- port, though not at the expense of loyalty to former C.F. manufacturers. Were members careful to " price " goods on display ? The price tickets offered from Queen Square were ele- gant and inexpensive. A new service provided for the making of individual showcards.
The current trend to self-selection, said Mr. Coulson. was here to stay.
He had yet to hear of a conversion that had failed to bring a 25 per cent, increase in sales, and often a doubling of sales per assistant had been re- corded. The pharmacist handled some- thing like 100,000 items. Not to have fixed prices for them was unthinkable. Sales figures could be analysed to re- veal shopping trends, and the N.P.U. was rethinking what it could do for members along those lines, given their co-operation in supplying information. That was why that afternoon's meeting was more than usually important.
Mr. A. j. Faulks, Slough, asked how the N.P.U. was prevented by the Re- strictive Practices Act from issuing a dressings price list, and it was ex- plained that any agreement " to sup- port or to Crab " had to be registered, and its sponsors could be called upon to show that it was " in the public interest." What the Union could do was to issue a mass of information about manufacturers' prices and terms and leave the individual to make his own inferences and formulate his own price policy. The Union was similarly prevented from disseminating such in- formation through the trade journals, though those journals could provide it independently.
Mr. Coulson informed Mr F G. Bull, Luton, that the N.P.U. had by no means suggested that members should take up the sale of trinkets or china. But information about trends in demand for " legitimate " merchandise could often prevent members from being caught unawares and losing sales thereby. He told Mr. G. E. Vale. Oxford, that the idea of setting up N.P.U. " inspectors " had been toyed with, but it would only become prac- ticable if demanded by an overwhelm- ing majority of members.
Mr. Wright told Mr. Bull that there was no chance of challenging the Re- strictive Practices Act. Any price list would amount to a recommendation and involve a registrable agreement. A fundamental difference with the N.P.U. " calculator " was that it provided a service in helping the chemist buying in metric quantities to translate his purchase prices into apothecaries-sys- tem retail prices.
Mr. Coulson explained to Mr. D. J. Crawford, Dunmow, the Marketing Policy Committee's view that it was not a function of the N.P.U. to create a nation-wide selling organisation. That field was catered for by wholesalers as well as the Union could cater for it. The future was seen as one of co- operation with wholesalers. No new N.P.U. lines were in contemplation, though they would be created if all members so desired. An N.P.U. range of " own goods " had been considered, but no wholesaler had been found ready to pack the required range at the required prices. The only answer at present seemed to be for members to take advantage of their own slack times to pack them at the pharmacy. It appeared that something might be

possible in the field of sundries. Mr. Stearn added that the aim should be standard packs for pharmacies, so that customers should not become confused by variations in prices between one chemist and another.
N.H.S. Matters
Latest information on such matters as prescription prices, payment for pro- prietaries, and drug testing, was given from the platform by Mr. J. Wright (deputy secretary), who was greeted with applause. Mr. Wright said the Ministry had at last agreed to acccept as a representative sample of contrac- tors the 35 per cent, response that had been the disappointing result of the questionnaire issued in 1958. A joint report was being made to both man- agement and staff sides of the Whitley Council before the end of the month. One necessary preliminary was to bring the 1958 figures up to date. No such inquiry could ever take place again. Instead, some method was needed of getting on-the-spot figures whenever they were wanted. That would pro- bably mean sending people to call on pharmacies around the country. Methods of getting routine figures at N.P.U. headquarters were also being considered.
The Central Committee had agreed to the recently issued list of standard packs because the alternatives would have been even more objectionable. The requirement that every prescription should be endorsed with the size of the pack used in dispensing it would mean extra work, but it had advan- tages. The contractor would be paid on his endorsement, perhaps with a warning to change his basic purchase quantities in future. Contractors could rely on having their claimed out-of- pocket expenses allowed (if correctly within the scope of permitted expenses) or on being told about any non-pay- ment. But if they claimed expenses outside the scope of allowed items they would neither be paid nor be told about the non-payment.
Mr. Wright said that the drug test- ing scheme had been modified so that, if a deviation from B.P.C. limits were not substantial, the case would norm- ally be " recorded " and the contractor not called before the committee. If, too, a fault in a sealed dressing were found by the clearing-house to be due to the manufacturer, there would be no reference of the matter to the phar- maceutical service committee. There would also be issued a limited list of proprietaries liable for testing. The N.P.U. had in mind, he later told Mr. Crawford, that such proprietaries should be put on a similar basis to sealed dressings so far as the contractor was concerned.
When questions were invited on Mr. Wright's statement, many of them had to do with rural dispensing. Mr. I. E. B. Wardman, Sudbury, said that in West Suffolk 40 per cent, of the population obtained their medicines from the doc- tors. Was there not a strong case for giving chemists the right to " counter prescribe " for the simple needs of N.H.S. patients ? Mr. Wright's answer was that it was his first en- counter with the idea which, whatever
its attractions, had no chance of gain- ing acceptance. A real problem lay in the mile limit, which had now become irrelevant to actual conditions. The N.P.U. had approached the British Medical Association on at least four occasions, he told another questioner, to try and persuade the doctors to re- linquish rural-area dispensing, but the Association's attitude was always " what we have we hold." To Mr. Bull, Luton, he said that patients often had the choice of " contracting out " of dispensing by the doctor. The N.P.U. was trying to secure publica- tion of a form that would show the patient he could have his prescriptions dispensed by a pharmacist. In some areas, it had been found that phar- macists themselves desired no change from the present arrangements. In others, doctors were finding it increas- ingly difficult to get dispensers.
One member asserted that the prob- lem, far from becoming less, was be- coming more acute. Mr. Wright's reply was that if abuses were known to mem- bers, such as patients being asked to sign forms agreeing to have their medi- cines from the doctor's surgery, they should be made known at N.P.U. headquarters, where action could be taken to correct them.
PRESIDING at the inaugural sessional meeting of the School of Pharmacy, University of London, on October 12, Sir Harry Jephcott (chairman of the board of governors) said the occasion was the first sessional opening held with the new building complete in all respects.
The report of the Dean (Professor W. H. Linnell) said that the new " freshers " could regard themselves very much as the " chosen few," being forty-eight selected from over 400 applicants. The problem of the fresher was how to allocate time between for- mal studies and other activities. They had to congratulate one student (R. J. Hemingway) on having solved the pro- blem by coming second in the Amateur Swimming Association's 220-yd. breast- stroke championship at the Univer- sity Athletic Union's Cardiff meeting, while gaining a First-class Honours de- gree and becoming a research student. The Dean congratulated Dr. Fairbairn on having become a Professor during the year.
The previous session, he said, had been a particularly successful one for the school. The number of students had increased to 204, and that placed an increasing burden on the staff, since the building had been designed for 144 undergraduates and forty post-graduate students.
The inaugural address was given by Professor M. Stacey, F.R.S. (Mason professor and head of the chemistry department, Birmingham University), his subject being " Some Impressions of Russian Science and Technology." After mentioning that among his best friends were many in the pharmaceu- tical industry, Professor Stacey said that at the moment he was, though a good Conservative, " very much pro-
An Illuminated Address
The address by the guest speaker, plus the tea interval, separated the sec- tions on " N.P.U. Matters " and on " N.H.S. Matters." The speaker was Mr. A. D. Charters (British Lighting Council) and his subject " Shop Light- ing." Mr. Charters said that good lighting and prosperous business tended to go hand in hand, though other fac- tors, such as a new shopfront installed at the same time, exerted an influence hard to apportion with any precision. The fact that good lighting, once in- stalled, was rarely removed, was an indication of its advantage. A point to bear in mind was that sources of light should not be visible to the window shopper. The goods themselves should be the focus of attraction. Windows lit by fluorescent tubes, which were capable of providing good all-over illumination if correctly used, often benefited by being supplemented by spot-lights trained on specific ob- jects on display. Mr. Charters demon- strated his point with spotlights of vari- ous types, and projected on the screen colour slides illustrating good and bad uses of lighting in shops. After con- cluding his address, Mr. Charters answered many questions.
Soviet." As a member of a scientific delegation to Russia he had been given a " fantastic " reception, and his visit had been a daily round of morn- ing visits to laboratories and academies of science, afternoon visits to museums and art galleries, and evening visits to ballets and parties. He spoke qj the " tremendous earnestness " of Russian scientists. Moscow University's chemis- try department comprised 1,200 under- graduates and several hundred post- graduates. There were twelve full chairs. The five-year course was a more arduous training than even that of Glasgow. It included, for example, much more mathematics. There were no written examinations, students being tested on something more equivalent to the American " quiz " system. The Soviet Academy of Science had, in the speaker's view, a closer grip on research projects than " any other bunch of scientists " in any country. At Lenin- grad there were a large number of graduates engaged in fundamental re- search. The Soviet Union had a won- derful institute for scientific informa- tion and the ability to keep abreast of world literature. That was a problem that had to be faced in Britain. Around 500 graduates were engaged in translating and abstracting, and ab- stracts were in every Russian scientific library of note within ten days or so of publication. Close liaison existed between scientific and technological people. Apparatus was profuse, and the interest in new instruments and appara- tus was enormous. It was true that Russia had few large chemical plants.
A vote of thanks to Professor Stacey, moved by Professor Fairbairn and seconded by Mr. B. Iaques, B.Pharm. (president, Students' Union) brought the meeting to a close.

Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland
MONTHLY MEETING OF COUNCIL
mpleton
OFFICERS of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland were elected at the October meeting of the Society's Council held in Belfast. Mr. Alexander Templeton was elected President, Mr. William J. Thornton, Vice-president, and Mr. R. M. Watson was re-elected Trea- surer. Mr. J. Caldwell (the retiring president) thanked the members of the Council for their support during his year of office, and referred to the help he had re- ceived from the secretary (Mr. W. Gorman). He then proposed Mr. Templeton, Garvagh, as president for the coming year, and Mr. D. Moore seconded. The election was unanimous. Mr. Templeton said he was conscious of the high honour that had been conferred on him, and promised to do his best. He then presented Mr. Caldwell with a replica of his badge of office and congratulated him on carrying out his duties so efficiently despite the fact that he had been suffering from ill-health.
The auditors (Robert Walsh & Sons) and the solicitors (Cleaver, Fulton & Rankin) were re-appointed.
The following committees were appointed for 1960-61 : Education, N. C. Cooper (chairman), W. H. Boyd, W. P. Ewart, H. W. Gamble, J. Kerr, G. E. Mcllhagger, A. Tem- pleton, W. J. Thornton, Professor Wade, Dr. Bacon; Ethical, J. Kerr (chairman), W. H. Boyd, J. Caldwell, N. C. Cooper, J. Gordon, W. T. Hunter, W. S. Hall, D. Moore, A. Tem- pleton, W. J. Thornton; Finance, D. Moore (chairman). W. H. Boyd, H. G. Campbell, W. P. Ewart, J. Gordon. W. C. Tate, A. Templeton, W. J. Thornton, R. M. Watson, F. R. Moore; House, W. S. Hall (chairman), J. Caldwell, S. E. Campbell, J. Kerr, G. E. Mcllhagger. P. R. W. Shin- ner, A. Templeton, W. J. Thornton, R. M. Watson, Dr. Bacon; Law, I. Gordon (chairman), H. G. Campbell, N. C. Cooper. H. W. Gamble, W. T. Hunter, D. Moore, H. F. Moore, W. C. Tate, A. Templeton, W. J. Thornton.
Mr. H. W. Gamble, who was welcomed back to the Council after a period of illness, raised the question of amendments to the Pharmacy Acts and how they would affect the Society. Under the Acts any fines imposed in court were divided between the Government and the Society. A third went to the Government and two-thirds to the Society. He believed those sections had been repealed, and since the new legislation no money had come in for some time from that source. As the expenses of running the Society were getting greater he suggested that the Ministry should be asked if they would be prepared to grant something in lieu. " Perhaps they would grant us a greater proportion of the licensing fees," he said. Mr. Gorman was asked to examine the situation.
New Poisons List
Mr. Boyd asked if there had been any further progress with the list of new poisons in the schedule. Mr. McIlhag- GER said the list was near completion, and would soon be in the hands of the secretary. Mr. Boyd said he had been discussing the matter with other members, and many were not clear on the changes in the schedule and needed their memories refreshed on what it actually entailed. It would be worth while circularising members with the various changes. The new president agreed with the proposal to circularise members with instructions about the new sche- dules. Some older members were experiencing difficulty.
Mr. Gamble was appointed to the Joint Formulary Com- mittee which was being reconstituted to start work on the next British National Formulary. Mr. James Acheson was
appointed to the Statutory Committee in succession to Mr. R. Gibson, who had resigned after more than ten years' service.
The Council accepted with thanks the gift of a copy of the Pharmacopoeia Londinensis, published in 1861, for the library. The donor was Dr. W. Honeyman.
Examiners' Reports
The Council discussed the reports of the examiners for the June examinations. The following were some of the comments made by the examiners: —
Botany: In the theory paper insufficient care was still given to writing relevant answers. The mere appearance of the name of a type in a question was apparently regarded as an invitation to write down everything that had been learned, whether it was significant to the question or not. Deficiencies in answers to the essay question on bacteria indicated a narrowness of outlook and lack of appreciation of the wider significance of what students were taught which seemed inadmissable in pharmaceutical students. In the practical paper, all candidates showed a good grasp of anatomy and floral structures, but their approach to the other specimens given to them was obviously rigidly con- fined by their training in previous practical classes, since few were able to make straightforward elementary observa- tions on the morphology and general characteristics of such specimens as a piece of rosemary or artemisia stem.
Zoology: Of thirty-three candidates, five failed to reach 50 per cent, in the theory, and twelve were below that figure in the practical section. Theory results, while quite good, suggested that the increased syllabus was at present proving a little indigestible — a greater range of knowledge was apparent, but often inaccurately remembered. That would probably adjust itself with time and practice.
Chemistry: All those previously referred in the subject were successful, the improvement in practical work being particularly noticeable. Of those re-sitting the whole exam- ination 40 per cent, passed in chemistry. Failures were markedly weak in theoretical work. Of the old syllabus can- didates, 54 per cent, of those taking the whole examination were successful. There was, however, a weakness in practi- cal work, and in quantitative work the degree of accuracy obtained was not high. Errors in calculation were pre- valent and many of the determinations had to be recal- culated. The general impression was that the students needed more individual teaching in laboratory work, and that could only be achieved by an adequate proportion of teaching staff to students. Theoretical work was well done on the whole, with a few reaching a high standard.
Physics: As expected the introduction of the new syllabus had not depreciated the standard of answering, and the percentage of failures was virtually unchanged. There seemed to be more interest in the subject, and in future years that could be reflected in a higher standard of answering.
Part 11 Pharmaceutics: With the exception of one stu- dent, who produced most praiseworthy papers, the quality of work in both theoretical and practical examinations was much below the level demanded at the qualifying stage. Of fifteen first entries, three passed completely, eight failed the whole subject, and four failed the theory only. There were thirty-eight re-entries, and of those nine passed the whole subject, fifteen failed the whole subject, five failed theory and nine failed practical. In the theory examination candidates, in general, failed to answer questions as set, including much irrelevant matter. In many cases it was difficult to justify the awards of any marks at all. A num- ber of scripts were almost illegible and the mis-spelling of commonly used words occurred all too frequently. There was strong evidence that most candidates lacked knowledge
5 3 6
THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST

of basic physico-chemical principles underlying pharma- ceutical processes. Even in the case of those candidates passing the examination it was apparent that little reading of the subject beyond lecture notes was carried out. In practical work there was also room for great improvement. Calculation sheets often failed to show clearly and con- cisely the quantities of material used and the calculations involved in arriving at those quantities. Students' attention needed to be drawn to the need to avoid extravagant use of Dangerous Drugs and of expensive materials. The pre- sentation of dispensed medicines was generally of a low standard. Few students had the ability to wrap a prepara- tion neatly, and the majority ignored the instruction to make their products identifiable by placing their name on the outer wrapper of the container as well as on the label itself. The labelling of sterilised preparations needed urgent attention, as regards both neatness and detail. Mathe- matical errors were also frequent, and automatically led to no marks being awarded. There were many instances of preparations being incorrectly labelled. Students should realise that the quality of a product was checked wherever possible, and if weights did not conform, loss of marks was inevitable. Inspection of practical books revealed a low standard of recording and great improvement in that sphere was needed.
In the Part 11, Part A Dispensing Practical examination seven out of ten candidates were successful. There was evidence of greater competence than in the previous group of students, and standards should improve in future.
Forensic Pharmacy: There were sixty-one entrants, of whom thirty-eight passed. Some surprising errors of fact were noted in answers to a question dealing with the storage of poisons.
Pharmacognosy, Final Part II (old regulations) : In written and practical examinations there were a few good papers but the general standard was rather low, and it was obvious that some aspects had been neglected. In the written examination too many candidates obtained good marks in one or two questions only, the remainder of their papers being sketchy. Some candidates' answers were badly presented — too often information not asked for was given and important details were omitted. Part 11 A (new regula- tions) : The standard of work was good, and clearly most candidates were well prepared. In the practical examina- tion, the microscopical section was the least well done. More attention could have been paid to accuracy of draw- ing and labelling.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Part 11 (old syllabus): — 44 per cent, of candidates passed. There was a general weakness throughout. From a cross-section of written papers it was clear that the work of the course had been well covered,
but it was also obvious that some candidates had put too little effort into the work and that others might be better employed in some other occupation. In the practical exam- ination it was noted that most candidates weighed out much more of the substance to be assayed — usually five times the amount — made up to a definite volume and took an aliquot part. The qualitative work of the weak candi- dates was very poor, indicating that more time and perhaps more supervision was needed.
Pharmaceutical Chemistry 1 (new syllabus) : 80 per cent, of candidates were successful, and that success pointed to the wisdom of spreading the work over the longer period. All candidates reached a satisfactory standard in the theory paper, the failures being due to weakness in practical work. There was a marked tendency in written work to avoid questions on physical chemistry. In the practical examina- tion the quantitative work on the whole was well done, but there was need for greater accuracy, both in weighing and in titration. Generally speaking there was room for con- siderable improvement in qualitative analyses. Too many candidates based their erroneous results on a few unreliable colour reactions. Except in a few cases colour tests as a means of identification should be forgotten.
" A Strong Indictment "
Commenting on the examiners' remarks on part II of the Final Qualifying examination. Mr. D. Moore said he thought the criticism of the candidates' inability to wrap preparations neatly was a strong indictment, especially since those were students who had already served their appren- ticeship. Mr. Caldwell agreed, saying that over the past five years he had been amazed at how badly apprentices tackled that elementary task. Mr. W. H. Boyd said he used bags, and found it a far better and more hygienic method of wrapping. Few places now bothered about wrapping bottles — bags were provided. He thought the art of wrap- ping was a thing of the past, and he would not " shed any tears." Mr. H. G. Campbell said he thought that good wrapping was much neater than a bag, and that it was an important point with customers. Mr. Caldwell referred to the mis-spellings of some candidates, and said he had been amazed at how mistakes were made with such com- mon words as " clothes " spelt " close." Mr. G. E. McIl- hagger said classes generally were too big, which meant that pupils and teachers were handicapped. He suggested that a synopsis of the report should be sent to all teachers.
Apologies were received from Professor O. L. Wade, Dr. R. G. R. Bacon, Messrs. S. E. Campbell, W. P. Ewart, W. S. Hall, H. F. Moore, Walter C. Tate, W. J. Thornton.
Mr. T. Hunter, a new member of the Council, was wel- comed by the president.

The Change to Metric
Sir, — The reluctance of the British to accept the metric system, as shown once more by Mr. I. S. Clarke, seems to us foreigners very odd. I must say that already, forty-seven years ago, when first in touch with your system of weights and measures, I would not have thought it possible for it to live as long. What about your two different ounces: the pharmaceutical of 480 grains, the avoirdupois of 437-5 grains and then 16 oz. to a pound, 14 lb. to a stone, 8 stones to a hundredweight, 20 cwt. to a ton — six different factors to pass from one unit to the next one! Dear Mr. Clarke, think that the metric system has only one factor: " 10 " and makes all reckoning so much easier.
Get used to it, and never more will you want to go back to the preposter- ous actual system.
I. J. Bloch, Pharm.Ch., Dr.es Sc., Vevey, Switzerland
The Pharmacist's Dilemma
Sir, — Several of your recent corres- pondents have the same basic problem — whether on the subject of profes- sional status, N.H.S. remuneration or the imposition of the metric system. Professional men require a broad basic education, and in addition an appren- ticeship-trained man acquires an under- standing of human problems. Our diffi- culty is mainly in reaching understand- ing and compromise with men who have acquired some degree of auth-
ority by following a specialised and confined career, " one-track " minds. Politicians in particular, whether local amateurs or Cabinet ministers, require no broad general examination before exercising their authority. Refusal to compromise and a fanatical zeal will today put a man into power more quickly than anything else. University professors and statesmen alike think that a complex human problem may be solved by a simple formula. That may work in a lecture room or a lab- oratory, but the retail pharmacist can- not treat his customers like experimen- tal animals and university graduates at the same time.

Side Effects of Unrestricted Trade
Approximately half the agreements that were registered when the Restrictive Practices Act took effect are no longer in existence. Most of them have been abandoned or purged, some condemned. Reviewed from any angle that is a remarkable effect of the legislation. Of the remaining agreements, no doubt a majority will be abandoned or modified when they are brought before the Restrictive Practices Court. Indeed, there is possibly a hard core of only around one hundred cases in which battle will be joined in that court.
However, that initial result may not be the most important outcome of the Act, for there has not yet been time enough, in most industries in which agree- ments have been abandoned, for substantial changes to become evident to the public at large. Certain of the changes affect what have been considered to be funda- mental structures of some industries, and we would reinforce the plea by Mr. William J. Brown (see p. 545) for a full-scale study of the results of the Act. We believe that some of the answers that would emerge from such a detailed investigation as he suggests might well surprise many of those in Parliament who approved the legislation. Much the same careful appraisal ought to be made — and probably its results would be equally educative — of the answers given to the questionnaires issued by the Board of Trade in connection with the inquiry into aspects of resale price maintenance.
If the section of the Act that facilitates resale price maintenance is rescinded, then sooner or later the price war that is bound to break out will have consequences unforeseen by those who approved the amendment. It may be delayed in some trades in which there is (as at present) an increasing demand for goods, but it is in- evitable when that demand falls away the situation will quickly deteriorate. The results will be seen in the failure not necessarily of the less efficient distri- butor, but of the one who is weaker financially. To what extent recent take-over bids are the effect of the Act is difficult to say, but there is a growing feeling that its influence has operated to a greater extent than most protagonists of the legislation are ready to admit.
Mr. Brown's hope that the Government will learn the true reason for price maintenance, namely that cut prices lead to demands for greater profit margins, which must in turn be reflected in higher prices, will be echoed in many pharmaceutical circles. If it is not to be just a hope, all concerned must take steps to ensure that the practical aspects of price maintenance are made as widely known as are some of the unproved theories
of those economists who, having had no experience behind the counter, have urged a price free-for-all.
Already that moral has been drawn by Mr. C. C. Green of the Proprietary Articles Trade Association, who pressed it home when he recently addressed a joint meeting of Pharmaceutical Society Branches at Wem- bley (see C. & D., October 22, p. 509). The anti-main- tenance economists have laid great emphasis on the more efficient methods of distribution of the larger organisations. They forget, or ignore, that the greater part of the stocks sold in the " super markets " (the distributors those economists seem to have chiefly in mind) are sold at standard prices, and some at prices well above those asked in the smaller shop. For the operators in question occupy the most expensive main- street sites and have heavy running costs to meet. It should be patently obvious to all who think about it that they cannot meet their commitments and make profits by cutting all their prices all the time.
Onward from Galen
Fear of cats appears to be a relatively common pheno- menon an observation endorsed by a recent B.B.C. radio discussion. The British Medical Journal (August 13) pub- lished an article, based on a paper presented to the annual conference of the British Psychological Society, describing the treatment by experimental psychology of a thirty-seven year old married woman who was terrified of cats. At the age of four she had witnessed the drowning of a kitten, since when a phobia had developed and finally reached such magnitude that she was forced to seek medical advice and subsequent hospital treatment. Therapy was based upon the theory that neurotic symptoms are learned behaviour patterns, designed to relieve anxiety. Phobia would achieve that aim initially by avoidance of the cause of worry; however, the habit would gradually become so pronounced as to be unadaptive to the situation. Hence, in the case described, the patient would panic at the sight of a cat and be plagued by the thought of meeting one. Doctors decided to apply a technique of " reciprocal inhibition." whereby habits would be retrained to become adaptive patterns of behaviour once more. The method required the patient's full co-operation, and first involved listing, in order of significance, the mental stimuli producing fear- reaction (e.g., sight of cats gave violent response, but fur gave milder response). The patient was then encouraged to establish a new response at the weakest end of the fear gradient — she learned to accept fur by being presented with fur-like materials; then to tolerate toy kittens and pictures of cats, and finally to grasp a live kitten. One month after treatment commenced, the patient was allowed to complete her cure at home by retaining the kitten and watching it mature. Seven months later her phobia had completely sub- sided, and it was concluded that the application of experi- mental psychology to the case had proved a worthy alterna- tive to the normal process of psychotherapy.

OPEN SHOP"
AN UNSCRIPTED COMMENTARY ON THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF THE PHARMACIST IN RETAIL PRACTICE
E. C. TENNER
A COPY has reached me of the industrial price list, 1960, of Boots Pure Drug Co., Ltd. Presumably it is sent around to factories. It states : " Boots' organi- sation offers a unique service to industrial health units. . . ." Under the heading " General Terms and Conditions," dis- counts to be deducted from retail selling prices for various classes of goods are specified. The class that particularly interests me is " Proprietary Medicines and Proprietary Toilet Articles." All goods by pharmaceutical firms and cos- metic houses other than Messrs. Boots' own make are included. Where makers have special terms, the company can usually supply at the same rate. On lines that are exempt from purchase tax, 10 per cent, discount is allowed from the retail selling prices. On all other items 81 per cent, discount is allowed from the tax-inclusive retail selling prices. No discount is allowed on insulin, clinic packs of food, Elizabeth Arden and the range of Helena Rubinstein preparations.
Now I have always been assured that Boots profess to observe manufacturers' maintained retail prices. I know, of course, that nurses and doctors are given what is called " professional " discount, but I did not think Messrs. Boots believed in price-cutting generally. Presumably insulin and clinic food prices are inviolate, but what is meant by the exclusion of Arden and Rubinstein preparations from this " industrial " discount ? Are those the only two firms that will not allow their prices to be cut ? Are not (say) Euthy- mol tooth-paste and Beechams pills to be any longer price- maintained by their manufacturers ? Are Arden and Rubin- stein the only manufacturers who are able to dictate terms to our multiple friends ?
There is another section headed " Pharmacy and Poisons Act, 1933, and Dangerous Drugs Acts" specifying how items affected by those statutes may be purchased, but no warning is included that, should there be any resale of a " listed " poison, the seller must be either an authorised seller of poisons or a listed seller (unless he is a medical or veterinary practitioner). Many of my customers work in factories. I regard it as significant that the cover colour of the company's industrial price list is a bright red. Waved in front of my eyes, it arouses much the same reaction as a red rag waved in front of a bull.
Space for the Label
I should have thought that, by now, manufacturers of proprietary medicines that are poisons would have been aware that space upon their packs ought to be provided for the seller to mark his name and address. The other day I saw a new pack of a widely advertised proprietary poison. It was most inartistically covered over with " blurb." There was no space for my name and address dot, and I had to open out the pack before I could find the Schedule-7 cau- tionary words. It is the duty of the Pharmaceutical Society to administer the Pharmacy and Poisons Acts, why do they fail to obtain desirable improvements in these proprietary poisons' packs ? Cautionary words on a proprietary poison are often a valuable reminder to the vendor that his " dot " must be affixed to it. A space left for the " dot " would operate similarly, though it is often pleasant to cover up some of the " blurb " ! Again, in respect of the Pharmacy and Medicines Act, 1941, also administered by the Phar- maceutical Society of Great Britain, I have noticed that
packs of some proprietary medicines must be opened before the formula disclosure can be discovered. We ought to hear more about negotiations between our Society and proprie- tary medicine manufacturers in protection of our interests as sellers of poisons. If such negotiations have been entered into, we should have been told something about them. If not, the time is surely due for some vigorous action along those lines.
List into " Calculator "
To give it its full name " The N.P.U. Drug and Galenical Price Calculator " has a hearty welcome from me. In many ways it is much more useful than the price list it supersedes. As I have said before, I particularly appreciate the cost- basis columns. They do help me a stage further into the metric age. Talking of the metric system (even after the Pharmaceutical Conference) I believe medical students should be taught to express deci-, centi-, and milli- grammes only as decimal fractions of grammes, and that where less than 1 gm. is to be written, the decimal point should be pre- ceded by a figure naught. Thus, point 1 mgm. would be written unmistakably G 0 0001 or 250 mgm. G 0'250. I undertake vitally important searches for decimal points in badly written prescriptions so often that I am convinced that my " point " is an important and practical one. Years ago I was taught that way of writing metric quantities. I believe that, if doctors were similarly instructed, I should not see so many dangerously written prescriptions in the course of a week.
Over the Water
Recently touring for the first time in Eire I was most impressed by the gracious manners of the shopkeepers. There was time for conversation with each customer, and it passed mostly in the time while one's purchase, however small, was carefully wrapped in paper and tied with string. I found it most healthy and refreshing to live for a few weeks in the quieter tempo of the Irish philosophy : " Time enough." That sort of graciousness has practically dis- appeared from the cut-throat business of shopkeeping in England. Yet I found that life is difficult for the retail phar- macists in Eire. Chemists' gross profits have been the sub- ject of adverse and, I think, misinformed Press comments. One country chemist told me he did no " human " dispens- ing at all, but lived mainly on his veterinary practice, all the human dispensing being done by the State-employed dispensary doctor. Later I met a dispensary doctor who told me he wished the State would allow him to give up the dispensing part of his job. He said he had not been trained for it and would rather confine himself to diagnosis and prescribing, etc. In a small town I found two chemists' businesses. I was told that one was shortly closing down. I noticed that both pharmacies had devoted a large propor- tion of their small display windows to " fashion jewellery." So I came away wondering how long the delightful " time enough " philosophy will be able to last. How long will it be before high-pressure methods have to be adopted in Eire ? The ugly American business methods have destroyed so much that was valuable in traditional retail pharmacy in England. Long may Eire resist them! It took me more than a week to speed up again after my very pleasant Irish relaxation.

Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland
DEGREE COURSE DETAILS GIVEN TO ANNUAL MEETING |
DETAILS of the proposed degree course for phar- macy were announced by Mr. H. P. Corrigan (president, Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland) at the Society's annual meeting in Dublin on October 10.
Describing the decision to establish the degree course as | one of the most far-reaching taken this year," the Presi- dent explained that the Council had adopted the recom- mendation of the Education Committee to establish such a course. " This decision was the culmination of many years of hard work and many meetings. On behalf of this Com- mittee I express thanks to local associations and to indivi- dual members who wrote giving views on the proposed course and on ancillary matters, such as apprenticeship. It is interesting to note that the decision to shorten the period of apprenticeship was accepted but some protested that it is futile to raise the standard of education when we are denied the bulk of the compounding and dispensing of medicines. It is for this reason that the Council wants to raise pharmaceutical standards : it wants to raise the status of the pharmacist and provide him with greater scope and with more outlets.
" I gave you an outline of the proposed course last year. Briefly, the aim is three years at college followed by one year's practical training in a pharmacy. The Society's representatives met the authorities of University College, Dublin, and were accorded a most courteous reception. It was found possible to evolve a scheme which requires the student to devote the first year to the study of chemistry, physics and biology at U.C.D. Credit for this year is gained by passing an examination equivalent to first science. The second and third years will be devoted mainly to profes- sional subjects (pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutics, etc.) which will be taught for the most part at the College of Pharmacy. At the con- clusion of the third year the student takes his degree examination, which will entitle him to the degree of B.Sc.(Pharm.). The graduate must next spend at least a year undergoing practical training in a pharmacy before he sits for the Licence examination in forensic medicine. On passing, he becomes eligible for registration as a pharma- ceutical chemist."
Advantages of the Scheme
Although the apprenticeship period was being reduced, the student commencing the period of practical training would have been taught already how to compound and dispense and so would arrive at the pharmacy with a good foundation. The cost of an extra year at College would be offset by the attainment of salary-earning capacity a year sooner than under the present system. Furthermore, the student would go straight from school to the University and would complete the academic section of the course before starting the practical section — in other words, he would suffer no interruption in his studies. He would also become eligible for University and county council scholar- ships, thereby removing a disability that had previously deprived pharmacy of brilliant potential students.
When the Council had been convinced that the scheme could be implemented they had submitted it, in May, to the Minister for Health for approval. The Minister had informed the Council that the scheme was being examined by his Department and the Departments of Finance and Education. He was also seeking the views of the other Ministers. The Council had hoped for a decision before College reopened that month (October), but now they hoped for a reply in the near future.
" We are convinced that the changeover will result in a bigger intake of students. We know, in fact, of students who re holding back until next year in the hope that they
will be able to follow the degree course. We are also aware that students living in the Cork and Galway zones will seek recognition of lectures taken out at U.C.C. and U.C.G. respectively, but this is only one of the many problems examined by the Education Committee and by the Council," said the President.
Minister's Letter
The Registrar (Mr. J. G. Coleman) then intervened to read a letter that Mr. F. Loughman, T.D. (president-elect) had received from the Minister for Health (Mr. S. Mac- Entee) in regard to the proposed course. Dated September 27, it stated: "I have received your letter of 19th inst. asking me to meet representatives of the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland to discuss the proposed arrangement for the training of pharmaceutical chemists at University Col- lege, Dublin. The position is that the objections to these arrangements, as conveyed by my Department to the So- ciety, were based on considerations advanced by the Minis- ter for Education who was concerned with the proposal in its relationship to University education. Recently the Minister for Education, following further consideration of the matter, has let me know that he has withdrawn his objections, and in the circumstances I have agreed in prin- ciple not to withhold my approval. Provided therefore the regulations made by the Society to implement the proposals are not ultra vires its statutory power, and provided also that the Minister for Finance indicates his agreement to the proposals (the finance implications of which he is at the moment considering), you may take it that they will receive my formal approval. While therefore I would be glad to meet a deputation from the Society, if this were necessary, I suggest that in the circumstances which I have mentioned it would be best to await further developments."
Mr. Loughman said it would seem that in the near future the Society could anticipate that the regulations would be approved.
Mr. T. B. O'Sullivan said the Council should congratu- late Mr. Corrigan and the registrar on the " magnificent " letter they had sent to the Minister setting out the Council's views on the matter.
Mr. Corrigan went on to say that discussions which the Council had had with the Apothecaries' Hall, Dublin [on the proposed Pharmacy Amendment Bill] had resulted in agreement between that body and the Society. Both sent the Minister for Health the text of the agreement measure, and that move, coupled with the Minister's statement in the Dail last May, made the Council optimistic that the " long overdue " Bill would reach the House during the coming season. Mr. Corrigan paid tribute to the repre- sentatives of both sides for the manner in which differences were " ironed out."
The president reported that during the year the Society had lost, through death, twenty-five pharmaceutical chem- ists, two dispensing chemists and druggists; five registered druggists, and two assistants. Among them were two former presidents (Mr. Denis Nugent and Mr. Joseph Costello) and a former member of the Council (Mr. Joseph Gorry). Between October 1, 1959, and October 1, 1960, eighty-one new licentiates were registered, including twenty-one who qualified via the Apothecaries' Hall; thirteen registered druggists, and thirteen pharmaceutical assistants. During the same period forty-eight names were added to the pharma- ceutical assistants' preliminary register, and thirty-one to the pharmaceutical chemists' preliminary register. Prelimin- ary registrations were made principally after the results of the June examinations, and from inquiries received it seemed probable that there would be more than the thirty- one students who were enrolled for the science course.

THE CHEMIST
AND DRUGGIST
October 29, I960!
Forty-one students had returned to the College for the phar- macy course. The new course for assistants, introduced in 1958, demanded attendance at a course of lectures on com- pletion of apprenticeship. The first set of lectures would be held from March to June, 1961, and the second set was scheduled to commence next October. There were now 122 young people serving their apprenticeships under the new assistant regulations.
Mr. Corrigan explained that in March the Society held the last Licence examination under the "old" pre-1952 regulations, concluding the extension period. Between July 1, 1958, the original closing date for the examination, and March 31, ninety-six candidates succeeded in qualifying. Inevitably there were a few hard-luck cases, but it would be generally agreed that the Council made every effort within reason " to shut the door as gently as possible." Those who were unlucky might still qualify by availing of the provi- sions of the 1952 regulations.
Recalling that for many years the Council had urged pharmacists to participate in local and national affairs, the president said that in the sphere of health the phar- macist's participation seeemed obvious. Nevertheless it had proved difficult to secure the nomination of pharmaceutical chemists on local health committees. He was glad that many local pharmaceutical associations had made the effort to have members appointed, and that one at least had been appointed, Mr. K. Matthews, to the Louth consultative health committee.
" During the year Mr. O'Briain terminated his services as inspector and liaison officer. Mr. O'Briain left at his own request and we were sorry to lose him. For nearly five years he carried out a difficult task with tact and im- partiality and did much to further good relations in pharmacy.
It is not possible to deal with the activities of all the Committees working for pharmacy but I should like to thank all those who sacrificed time and energy so gener- ously. I must refer to some of them: The Post-graduate Education Committee continues to enhance its reputation and the greatest credit is due to this band of enthusiastic workers. Another committee is unique, the Gardens Com- mittee. A group of pharmacists and students decided to beautify the College grounds and devoted many fine even- ings to hard manual work. This is an example of literally taking one's coat off to do a job. To relieve the Society of the expense of new shrubs and plants, they ran a raffle and collected nearly £200. We are under a debt of grati- tude to these men. The Benevolent Fund Dance Commit- tee has been working so efficiently and unobtrusively for so long that we might be tempted to think that it is no trouble. This year saw the celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of its existence and so I think it is proper that we should place on record our deep appreciation of the wonderful work they have accomplished while they were growing to maturity."
College of Pharmacy Fund
Dealing with the Irish College of Pharmacy Fund, Mr. Corrigan recalled that last year he had explained why the Society was contributing £1,050 towards it, and mentioned that the committee of management was directing its appeal to licentiates, manufacturers, and to all whose products were normally channelled through pharmacies. They had received contributions from some firms; others had indi- cated that they intended to contribute, but, for reasons connected with their own financial years, had deferred mak- ing a donation until later. Support had been forthcoming from the Association of Irish Pharmaceutical Importers. The following had already contributed :— Antigen, Ltd. (£262 10s.); Chesebrough-Pond's, Ltd. (£10); Glycerin, Ltd. (£10 10s.); Horlicks, Ltd. (£5 5s.); May Roberts (Ireland), Ltd. (£105 to be repeated each year for four years); Phar- maceutical Society of Ireland (£1,050 to be repeated each year for four years); Sr. Laura's Food (£10 10s.); Solport
Brothers, Ltd. (£5); Irish Pharmaceutical and Medical Re-I presentatives' Association (£10); Squibb (Ireland), Ltd.l (£250); John Steedman & Co., Ltd. (£2 2s.); F. W. Hamp- shire & Co., Ltd. (£2 2s.); Helena Rubenstein (Eire), Ltd (£5 5s.); Chas. H. Phillips Chemical Co., Ltd. (£10 10s.); Max Factor Hollywood and London (Sales), Ltd. (£5 5s.); Lentheric, Ltd (£3); Riker Laboratories, Ltd. (£10 10s.); Lever Brothers (Ireland), Ltd., coupled with D. & W Gibbs, Ltd. (£50); Smith Kline & French Laboratories, Ltd (£100); Rexall Drug Co., Ltd., (£10 10s.); Edward Taylor. Ltd. (£5 5s.); Geigy Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (£157 10s.) In addition, the following had asked how the following sums should be applied: CIBA Laboratories, Ltd. (£100) Beecham (Sales), Ltd. (£200); Aspro-Nicholas, Ltd. (£525 in instalments of £105 per annum). "To each and every- one I say thanks on your behalf. Many demands are made on those companies, and the Committee appreciate how difficult it is for a company to meet those demands. Or your behalf I express the gratitude of Irish pharmacy foi the generous support given, and for the encouraging letters received," the president added.
Committee Re-elected
Mr. Corrigan announced that as there was no ballot he would formally declare the following seven members of the Council re-elected for a period of three years: Messrs M. Costello, J. P. O'Donnell, F. Loughman, J. J. O'Regan T. R. Miller, M. F. Broderick and R. J. Power.
Proposing the adoption of the president's report, Mr. J„ E Fox, Athlone, said Mr. Corrigan had given members £ detailed account of the Society's activities during the year It was gratifying to note the " tremendous support " re- ceived from the various ethical and manufacturing firms for the College of Pharmacy Fund. Members were happj to learn of the successful outcome of the long discussions that had taken place with the Apothecaries' Hall, and were satisfied with the work the Council had put into the case. He was sure that the proposals regarding the degree course would be welcomed by most members. While some might have different ideas regarding the details, he thought all woulc agree that the course would enhance the status of phar- macy, and that in the long run they would gain a lot frorr it. Concluding, Mr. Fox paid " a deserved tribute " to the outgoing president for his " solid " work as a member oi the Council and as a worthy president.
Seconding, Mr. J. P. McCaul, Dublin, said he was gla< that agreement had been reached with the Apothecaries Hall, Mr. R. C. O'Higgins, Dublin, joined in congratulat ing the outgoing president on the splendid results achievec both in regard to the negotiations with the Apothecaries Hall and on the new Educational Bill. He added that h( would like the terms of the agreement with the Hall to b< made available to members. Urging that more publicity should be given to the Council's activities, and to iti monthly deliberations, Mr. O'Higgins said that that woulc encourage members to take a greater interest in the worl being performed by the Council and enable members tc take a more active interest in pharmacy. Of the first Irisl Pharmacy Week he said that while it was not a brillian success it was a moderately successful venture, and whilt members hoped that next year's fixture would be an ever greater success they would like to see more people take ai active interest in it. Mr. O'Higgins said he got the impres sion that pharmacists were afraid to express their views a the annual meetings. He thought there was some unfoundec fear that if they expressed criticism of the work of the Council it might react to their disadvantage. That unneces sary fear should be dispelled. _
Mr. D. F. Walsh agreed that some members were afraic to express criticism of the Council and regarded it as £ type of exclusive club whose activities they should be slov to criticise. There was a lot of nonsense spoken along those lines, such apprehensions being entirely without foundation He asked that in future the Irish Pharmaceutical and Medi

cal Representatives* Association should be officially acquain- ted with the activities of the Council the same as other pharmaceutical groups. They had not been consulted about the Pharmacy Act or the new education programme, although they were particularly interested in matters affect- ing education of pharmacists. Stating that he was glad to hear the president pay tribute to the work of the Post- graduate Committee, Mr. Walsh said he was glad the Council had agreed to meet the Committee with a view to arriving at an amicable agreement regarding certain matters that had caused some misunderstanding. He hoped that the new Pharmacy Bill would be given an early reading in the Dail, and said he was pleased to hear of the many sub- scriptions that had been made to the Pharmacy Trust Fund. He thought an even better response would be forthcoming if more publicity were given to the matter. Welcoming the co-option during the year of a hospital pharmacist to the Council, he expressed the hope that the Council would eventually be completely representative of all pharmaceuti- cal groups.
The Registrar assured Mr. Walsh that his organisation would be consulted in future in all matters relating to pharmacy.
The President explained that under the Society's charter of 1791 the members of the Apothecaries' Hall were en- titled to engage in the practice of medicine, surgery and pharmacy. The 1875 charter of the Society entitled mem- bers to keep open shop for the sale of poisons and the compounding of medical prescriptions. Under the Pharmacy Act apothecaries could register with the Society on payment of a stipulated fee, but the Society was seeking under the new Act to have apothecaries removed from the register of pharmaceutical chemists. They had succeeded in doing that, but that was all. When the new Act was implemented an apothecary could still carry on as such, but not as a pharmaceutical chemist. After a specified date they would no longer be able to register as pharmaceutical chemists, but would be entitled to engage in compounding under the title of medical hall.
Mr. T. R. Miller said that as the law stood a doctor eould engage in all matters appertaining to medicine and the Society had no power to prevent him from keeping open shop if he wanted to. At present on payment of a fee of £21 he was entitled to call himself an L.P.S.I. Under the new Act he would no longer be able to register as such but that could not prevent him from keeping an open shop.
Competition from Apothecaries ?
Mr. E. Browne said that apart from a change in name it appeared that an apothecary under the new Act would still be able to engage in retail pharmacy. Although he "would not be allowed to call himself a pharmaceutical chemist he would be allowed to work as one. That was not of much advantage to members of the Society and it looked as if in future a group of apothecaries would be engaged in competition against pharmaceutical chemists.
Mr. R. Purcell asked if, under the new Act, one doctor would be entitled to make up another doctor's prescription?
Mr. D. J. Kennelly said that long before pharmaceutical chemists came into official existence apothecaries had the right to compound their own and other doctors' prescrip- tions. The Society could not interfere with the original charter of apothecaries, but under the new Pharmacy Act apothecaries would be prevented from registering as phar- maceutical chemists. It would be impossible for the Society to take away the rights to compound medicines enjoyed by apothecaries under their ancient charter. It would be inter- fering with a right they had had before the Pharmaceutical Society came into being.
In reply to Mr. Purcell, the President said that under the Pharmacy Act a medical doctor could not compound another doctor's prescription.
Mr. J. K. McGarry said it appeared that when apothe- caries were removed from the Society's register under the
new Act they would still be able to come in a " back-door." They would be able to open medical halls instead of phar- macies and from the practical point of view the new posi- tion would be little better than the existing one. It was immaterial whether apothecary shops were called pharma- cies or medical halls if they were allowed to compete with members of the Society. The President said he took a totally different view.
Mr. G. C. O'Neill said that while the new Act would not be everything pharmacists wanted, it was a step in the right direction. He was convinced that the numbers were getting so small that apothecaries would not be able to procure pharmaceutical chemists. Mr. Walsh said he also believed apothecaries would fail through lack of staff.
The president's report was adopted unanimously.
Treasurer's' Report
The report of the honorary treasurer (Mr. M. Costello) revealed a deficiency for the year of £3,389 18s. 9d. Mr. Costello said he thought the time was coming when the financing of the full educational course would impose too great a strain on the Society's finances. Included in the deficit was a sum of £1,050 that had been given by the Society to the Pharmaceutical Trust Fund, while the schools courses had shown a loss of £878, compared with a profit of £510 in 1959. Having quoted other details of the account, Mr. Costello said that while the overall loss was not much greater than the previous year, the position was not a healthy one. The Council were hoping that with the pro- posed change in the educational course some of the finan- cial burden at present borne by the Society would be taken over by the University. Education was a State service, and the state of the Society's accounts at present should help to convince the Department of the urgency of giving the Society what they were seeking under the Pharmacy Bill. Mr. Costello said that £958 10s. had been disbursed from the Benevolent Fund during the year, compared with £647 the previous year, while the proceeds from dances and subscriptions totalled £823. Having thanked the various committees who had raised that sum he appealed to any members who could afford it to include a sum additional to their membership subscription for the Benevolent Fund. Mr. R. Purcell proposed the adoption of the report, and that was agreed.
Mr. Lyall Smith asked what hope there was of reducing the deficiency next year ? Apart from the hope of receiv- ing legislative help he would like to know what steps the Council proposed taking. The chief problem was that not all licentiates were members. One way of easing the posi- tion might be to encourage licentiates to become members of the Society. He also suggested that at the back of the Society's Calendar should be included a bequest form which some members might be inclined to fill in for the benefit of pharmacy. Mr. Costello said that in addition to contributing £1,050 to the Trust Fund the Society had written off £981 under the heading of depreciation, so that what was lost during the year in hard cash was what had been lost on the schools. At present there were about 800 pharmacists '" outside the fold," so that when the new Pharmacy Bill was enacted the Society would have that many more £4 4s. subscriptions. With the loss on the science course being borne by the University under the new Bill he hoped that in five years' time the Society would have a credit balance.
Proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Corrigan for presid- ing, Mr. M. Power said that Mr. Corrigan had given virtually all his time and energy to the affairs of the Society during the past twelve months. Mr. A. C. Hennessy, seconding, said that Mr. Corrigan had carried the banner highly and was extremely well thought of and spoken of in all parts of the country.
On the motion of Mr. P. A. Brady, a vote of thanks was passed to the registrar and staff for their work on behalf of the Society during the year.

MONTHLY MEETING OF COUNCIL
(Concluded from The Chemist and Druggist, October 22, p. 504) When the report of the committee of inquiry appointed to examine the proposals regarding the possibility of form- ing a representative pharmaceutical association, with a view to improving liaison among the various pharmaceutical groups had been read to the Council, Mr. Miller said they had received something of a concrete nature on which to build such an association. The most encouraging aspect was that the social group were prepared to hand over their funds to help establish such an association and secure a headquarters. On the motion of the president, it was agreed to allow the commission to hold a general meeting of mem- bers of the Society in the College of Pharmacy at 8 p.m. on November 18 when the progress made by the investigat- ing committee would be reported in detail. It was agreed to circularise copies of the commission's report to members.
Stating that in recent weeks Ireland had been accorded a great honour through the appointment of Mr. Frederick Boland as president of the United Nations Organisation, the President proposed that the Council should offer him their congratulations. That was agreed.
Dr. Edwin Chatt-Ramsey having submitted an L.A.H. certificate, was granted registration as a pharmaceutical chemist.

HOSPITAL PHARMACY FORUM
NEW INTERESTS FOR OLD
ANYONE who has grown a colony of bacteria or moulds on a nutrient agar plate will be familiar with '-the phenomenon of self-limiting growth. The colonies newly seeded thrive for a time, then fade and shrink, and unless they are subcultured they die. Arnold Toynbee, in his " Study of History " traces a similar development in human civilisations. His thesis is that civilisations arise and grow in response to the challenge of environment. Hard physical conditions prompted the Athenians to cultivate the olive and, as a consequence, to enter into export trade in order to exchange oil for grain. Thus a new civilisation developed through commerce.
Only when life becomes easy and the challenge is lost does dissolution set in and the civilisation become effete. It was appreciation of that truth which prompted Amos the prophet to denounce those of his generation who were " at ease in Zion . . . that lie on beds of ivory and stretch themselves on couches." It would be unfair to attribute to pharmacists a life of luxurious indolence, but one wonders <§t times if there is not a little too much ease in Zion. Allow- ing for the jaundice of the descending years which is apt to affect the middle-aged, there seems to be a lack of enthu- siasm and endeavour on the part of some hospital pharma- cists. Too few have been willing to take responsibility and exercise leadership in branch affairs : too few have given up time to producing technical papers for branch meetings of the Pharmaceutical Society or the Guild of Public Pharma- cists. A number of factors could be cited as responsible for that state of affairs. Full employment is probably the most important of them. In the days when a vacancy advertise- ment for a post in the hospital service brought literally
dozens of replies, men who were keen felt that they had a personal stake in " making something of the profession." Today there is little interest in the hospital service because every newly qualified pharmacist knows he can find a job anywhere and at any time. When, however, that indepen- dence degenerates into indifference, we enter the phase at which dissolution must follow.
A second factor that makes for uncertainty is the rapid growth of specialities during the past decade. Hospital phar- macy has remained the one branch in which the pharmacist still has scope for the full range of his activities. Many have taken pride in their skill at formulation and manufac- ture. But every month sees an increase in the number of specialities and a waning in the scope for " home " pro- duction. The pharmacist's function is changing, and he must face the challenge if new vitality is to be found. If we are to have a vigorous and healthy profession, new interests must be developed to replace the old ones. There is obvi- ously a need for a new type of technologist in hospital steri- lisation and much has already been said of the pharmacist's interest in that field. No progress is likely, however, unless pharmacists equip themselves and make a contribution to the published work on the subject. Teaching is another activity that might well be developed. Many pharmacists already give courses of lectures to nurses, but too few have considered carefully the role of the pharmacist as teacher. It could happen that in the future we shall follow the pattern long established in France, where the hospitals are closely integrated with pharmacy schools and are used extensively for student-training, the chiefs being teachers in the univer- sity. The need to extend the frontiers of hospital pharmacy

is perhaps not yet the most obvious, but it is the most im- portant for the future well-being of the profession.
The third factor in our present depression is the frustra- tion produced by the Whitley salary system. For too long salaries have lagged behind those available in retail and industry and have resulted in an almost complete failure to recruit men to make a career in hospital work. Not only are the salaries too low but the scales are too long, and there are too few posts that even reach — let alone pass — the £2,000 mark. A further frustration is the lack of any means of merit promotion within the scale. Although some improve- ments have been achieved in recent years, there is always the sense that the Ministry is not really interested in the quality of the service and is content so long as, somehow or other, posts are filled. The request made by the staff side some years ago that an independent observer should be invited to review the state of hospital pharmacy was rejected by the Minister. The need has not diminished, but will increase. The condition of adversity must be taken as a challenge by hospital pharmacists to new and vigorous endeavour towards a scheme that will provide incentive and career value. ,

London, S.W.I. 9i X 6 in. Pp. 126. In this ninth issue in the series, the opportunity has been taken to widen in certain respects the scope of the investi- gation that has been carried out. The book provides for the first time more detailed information about the salaries of women clerks and about minimum age scales. It is based on a sample of 87,000 clerks in 1,112 offices. Of the clerks included in the sample nearly two-thirds were women, of whom more than half were working with machines of one kind or another.

Some sections of this book were unfortunately made out of date by the publication of the Poisons Rules, 1960, but the references to other items of legislation are still in line with current law. The book is divided into two parts, the first consisting of brief statements of the law. It suffers by only rarely giving the precise section — or subsection of the actual piece of legislation. The second section gives sum- maries of the action to be taken in stated circumstances. Specimens of labels are included as well as details of the appropriate records that must be kept.
SOUTH LONDON AND SURREY GOLF
Pharmacists' Golfing Society's annual supper
EIGHTY-FIVE golfing enthusiasts dined at the Shirley Park Golf Club recently on the occasion of the South London and Surrey Pharmacists' Golf- ing Society's seventh annual supper. A highlight of the evening was the pre- sentation by Mr. John Penson (captain of the Shirley Park club) of twenty- eight trophies and prizes played for during the 1960 season. They included a new award — a putter inscribed with the name of Jamie Anderson, winner
of the Open Championship 1877-79. Chairman of the proceedings was Mr. Frank Jamieson (captain of the Golf- ing Society), and Mr. Marsden Lewis shone as an entertaining announcer. The principal awards were made as follows: Scotia bowl: C. J. Martin: George Watt tankard: G. Howell; Sussex tankard: M. Lewis; Cupal prize: G. Howell; Calcutta cup, G.

Prolonged-action Medicaments
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS
THE general theme of a pharmaceu- tical technology symposium held in Copenhagen in August under the auspices of the section of industrial pharmacists of the International Phar- maceutical Federation was the techno- logical aspects of the preparation of medicaments with prolonged action for oral administration. Three papers were presented. The first, by Dr. David Jack (Smith Kline & French Labora- tories, Ltd.) dealt with the coating of medicaments with substances resistant to the gastric and intestinal juices; the second, by Dr. L. Saunders (School of Pharmacy, University of London), was entitled " Coating with Ion-exchange Resins and Chemical Complexes "; the subject of the third was the incorpora- tion of medicaments in a base to en- sure the slow release of the therapeutic substance. Its author was Dr. Jack Cooper (CIBA Pharmaceutical Pro- ducts, Inc., New Jersey, U.S.A.).
Purpose
Dr. Jack, in his paper, defined the usual objective of sustained-release for- mulations: to provide a satisfactory therapeutic response for twelve hours with a single-dosage unit so that the patient need take only two doses per day. To determine the rate at which the drug should be supplied, one must establish the single dose required to provide a therapeutic level, and the rate at which the drug was lost by metabolism and/or excretion (the bio- logical half-life of the product at near the therapeutic blood /tissue concen- tration).
Two main types of sustained- release products depended on coatings for their efficacy : the first, medicated pellets covered with the coating; the second, the drug dispersed in a finely divided state in a matrix of the coating material.
Because their performance depended on pn changes in the alimentary tract, enteric coatings would normally pro- vide a delayed release of medicaments. Coatings or matrices for sustained- release products should not be unduly affected by changes of pn and should be slowly permeable to gastric and in- testinal fluids.
Preparing the " Seeds "
Medicated pellets were usually pre- pared by coating the drug on to sugar starting " seeds " or other inert pellets by means of adhesive solutions con- taining, for example, gelatin, sucrose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc. Traditional pan coating methods were suitable. The sustained-release coating could also be applied to the medicated pellets by pan coating methods; it was usually applied as a solution in alcohol or other suit- able solvent, the solvent being removed between applications. The rate of re- lease depended on the average coat thickness and the nature of the coating material, and different lots of coated and uncoated pellets might be mixed to obtain practically any desired release
rate. That enabled the release rate of the drug to be adjusted according to its duration of action.
The only liquid sustained-release product known to the author contained the sulphonamide sulphaethylthiadi- azole. It was prepared by dispersing finely divided drug in a molten wax and spray-congealing the melt to give drug- containing wax-spheres of about 30-40/i diameter. The spray-congealed material was suspended in a palatable vehicle. Prepared as described, the product would give high initial release of drug because of the great surface area. In the author's view the method described was probably restricted to drugs that were sparingly soluble in water and had relatively high t| values. In tablet formulations the drug was dispersed alone or with therapeutically inert mater- ials in a water-resistant matrix (wax or plastic) by means of heat or a solvent. The mass was granulated, mixed with varying amounts of hydrophilic materials and tableting adjuvants, and compressed. Control of release rate was obtained by varying the matrix and the proportion of drug and diluent in the matrix, and by varying the proportion and nature of the material between the granules in the tablet. The main new problem posed to the analyst was in vitro determination of drug-release rate.
Biological Studies Stimulated
Dr. Cooper said that the rapid development of sustained-release oral medication had powerfully stimulated research activities in the pharmaceu- tical industry. A second and equally important effect had been an extension and broadening of biological studies dealing with the absorption, utilisation and excretion of drugs, particularly from a kinetic point of view. In assess- ing the state of knowledge in that field investigators were hampered by the ab- sence of published technological in- formation. It was obviously difficult to analyse and interpret the various methods used to obtain prolongation of drug activity when the only source of information lay in advertising bro- chures. The oldest of the techniques used was coating. Only recently had other concepts such as ion-exchange, complexing and controlled diffusion reached the stage of clinical acceptance. The main advantages of those newer types lay in their homogeneity and pre- cision of weight control. Some were independent of chemical composition of the gastrointestinal fluids, and provided increments of the drug by diffusion so long as they were present in the ab- sorption region of the alimentary tract.
It appeared best to divide that group of dosage forms into tablets that dis- integrated into discrete particles in the gastrointestinal tract; tablets that gradually eroded but retained their original shape, and tablets that re- tained their original shape and size but gave up active drug by leaching.
Dr. Saunders said that, in order to achieve a reliable sustained-release
effect, simplicity in formulation was important. Elaborate successive coatings such as had been described by a num- ber of workers relied on the presence of particular physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract of the patient. Prolonged dosage with such preparations could lead to an accumu- lation of undissolved coatings. The simplest device for achieving sustained release of ionisable drugs was the use of ion-exchange resins as carriers. The resins were non-toxic and easily ex- creted; if a strong resin were used the rate of release of drug was mainly dependent on the ionic strengths of the fluids with which it came into contact and was not greatly altered by changes of pn; only one component, the resin, was required in addition to the drug. The resins had the advantage over solid adsorbents that a good deal of sus- tained-release effect came from the slow diffusion of drug molecules through the resin particle structure, and that could be controlled by varying the particle size of the resin beads and also by altering the degree of cross- linking of the resin. It was, however, probably unrealistic to consider sus- tained releases over periods longer than 8-12 hours when resin-drug pre- parations were taken orally.
The idea of using ion-exchange resins to give oral sustained-release prepara- tions had developed as a result of the ideas of a number of workers. First systematic work on the subject seemed to be that of Saunders and Chaudhry (1956). The release rate was found to be dependent upon the total electrolyte concentration of the eluting solution, but the rates with 0-1N sodium chlor- ide and bicarbonate were only slightly less than the rate with 0-1N hydro- chloric acid. The degree of cross-linking of the resin had a marked effect on elution rate, as did the particle size of the resin. A useful retardation of the initial rate of release could be achieved by mixing the., resin saturated with drug with resin containing no drug. The same effect could also be obtained by only partially saturating the resin with drug, and in fact a good control of the shape of the release curve could be achieved by varying the degree of saturation of resin with drug.
Clinical trials had shown that the combination of several drugs with ion- exchange resins did give a sustained medication, as indicated by the in vitro studies. It had also been found that the total amount of drug required to provide a given sustained effect was less when the resin combination was used than when repeated doses of the drug were given. The results with anionic drugs were less clear. With penicillin, complications arose owing to chemical changes in the penicillin mole- cule when it was absorbed by the resin, leading to a loss of activity.

land, said that it was necessary to use ion-exchange resins of a high purity: many of those commercially available contained impurities. The moisture content also wanted watching.
Answering a question on how to determine whether a substance were suitable for subjecting to the ion-
exchange technique Dr. Saunders said that the requirements were that it should be physically stable; insoluble in water and the gastric juices; largely unaffected by changes of pn; of fairly high melting point; and not crystalline.
The coating of individual tablets for test was not practicable, said Mr. Jack.
SYMPOSIUM ON ENZYMES
Behaviour; standardisation; application in pharmacy; determination
THE Scientific Section of the Federa- tion organised a symposium on enzymes, at which three papers were presented. In the first, H. Jorgensen, Denmark, surveyed their general be- haviour, functions and activities. In the second E. Jacobsen and J. Hald, Denmark, dealt with the standardisa- tion of enzymes. K. Bullock, Great Britain, followed with a review of their applications in pharmacy; and J. Gourtois described methods of deter- mining enzymes in clinical chemistry. Determinations were made mainly, said Mons. Courtois, on blood, rarely on urine and the gastric and duodenal juices. The importance of enzymes to cellular activity was evident. Their
effect was often altered under different pathological conditions. Pathological disorders had also been caused when they ceased to act. Many disorders were attributable to the absence of a particular enzyme required for normal metabolism. Principal metabolic dis- orders included galactosemia, glyco- genic polycoria, phenyl-pyruvic oligo- phrenia, and pentosuria. Clinical- chemical laboratories were now equip- ped with apparatus and reagents for determining the effects of a wide variety of enzymes. Purposes of the determinations were: (a) to establish in- creases of diminutions of the relative quantity of an enzyme normally pres- ent, and whose effects varied in differ-
ent pathological disorders; (b) to follow the passage in the blood stream and possibly in the urine of an enzyme normally secreted in other parts of the body; (c) to follow the passage in the blood stream of endocellular enzymes liberated by necrosis in the tissues; or (d) to examine the genetic causes of the non-functioning of an enzyme. The enzymes were determined by their effect on a suitable substrate. The prin- ciple of the procedure was simple. In practice it had to be performed with great care, especially as to drawing and preservation of the sample, selection of substrate, observance of conditions of procedure (pu, temperature, dura- tion, and ratio of enzyme to substrate). Nomenclature used to describe the re- sults was at present in confusion. Inter- national commissions had suggested standard terms for the effect of en- zymes and the use of such standard terms was desirable both for enzymes determined in clinical chemistry and for those included in pharmacopoeias.
The fourth paper in the symposium was on " The Enzymatic Basis of the Effect of Drugs and Poisons." It was by Josef Riehl, Germany.
FIXED PRICES, MARKETING AND TRAINING
Problems discussed at Management Conference
A PLEA for a study of the effect on industry of the Restrictive Trade Prac- tices Act, 1956, was made by Mr. Wil- liam J. Brown, M.C. (solicitor to the Supreme Court) in a paper dealing with the Act presented at the National Con- ference of the British Institute of Man- agement at Harrogate, October 11-13. Mr. Brown held such a study to be of vital importance; economists, he said, " could hardly perform a more useful service." but he stressed that it would require a detailed knowledge of the in- dustry concerned and not merely " the application of economic theory without relevance to the individual facts." He referred to the inquiry conducted by the Board of Trade to ascertain the extent to which resale price maintenance was enforced, and the reasons why some manufacturers availed themselves of their rights under the Act, while others did not do so. He hoped that, from the inquiry, the Government would learn the true reason for resale price main- tenance ..." that cut prices lead to demands for greater margins which must be reflected in higher prices."
Price Warfare an Outcome
In the case of a few industries where restrictions had been abandoned, price warfare had broken out. In many in- stances there had been no substantial fall in prices. There was as yet no evi- dence that quality had deteriorated nor could that yet be expected. There was, however, an obvious tendency towards the amalgamation of firms so as to form fewer and larger units in any one in- dustry. Such units were able to with- stand such competition as might develop. If that tendency increased it might be a matter for anxiety. Mr. Brown considered that, if the effect of the Act had been less than might have been expected, that was probably due firstly to the sustained demand and
prosperity which had existed since the introduction of the Act, and secondly to the disinclination of manufacturers to indulge in price wars. To an increas- ing extent that had been avoided by the use of what in the United States were called "open" price agreements whereby the parties concerned notified each other of their own prices and proposed changes. Such agreements were as a rule illegal in the United States but were outside the scope of the law in this country as it stood at the moment.
Forward Planning for Sales
In another paper — " Marketing and Selling." Mr. Colin McIver said that " A businessman who does not arrange to keep up with the inexorable march of events — if possible to keep half a step in front of them — is unlikely to prosper." He urged the development of one section of a company's marketing department to deal with forward plan- ning, with three elements in mind.
" The first should be economic and social forecasting," he said. " Secondly, it should involve a contribution from the technical research section of the production department. Thirdly, the research manager should be called into service to interpret his findings about the current behaviour and needs of the consumer in terms of their future requirements."
It was more profitable in the long run to give the people what they wanted than to attempt to force them to take what was available. " If you don't give them what they want, some- body else will," he said.
Essential elements in the marketing outlook were an analytical approach towards internal organisation and sell- ing methods, aided by the development of machine accounting, and the " re- cognition that the world changes and even the greatest corporations must
change with it." Mr. McIver suggested that the best approach to export mar- keting was to think in terms not so much of selling for export as of gener- ating demand in export markets. Mar- keting and selling were not alternatives. Marketing was a calculated and scienti- fic technique for selling goods and services, but it was no substitute for selling.
Training for Management
Mr. T. J. Roberts (educational and training officer, Beecham Group, Ltd.) presented a paper on " Restlessness and Intellectual Under-employment in Management Trainees." He suggested a revision in the methods of training uni- versity recruits. The term " management trainees " should be scrapped. The re- cruit from a university should be taken on for a specific job. His future career would depend upon how well he did it.
The nature of the training and, partly, the characteristics of the trainee, were usually the cause of restlessness and intellectual under-employment, said Mr. Roberts. Often the training programme lasted anything from three months to two years. " Unfortunately the process is soul-destroying and gives rise to more restlessness and frustration than any other single factor." The graduate saw himself as a responsible person, but responsibility was the " last thing " that happened to a management trainee.
The young man should be recruited for a specific job, put in that job from the word " go," and given the kind of training that was essential to the effici- ent performance of the job. "He should not be moved until he has demonstra- ted his competence, and his future de- velopment should be catered for by the company's executive development programme like every other promising executive."

- and it has a powerful new selling feature
Here's a new Philips 'Infraphil' with an important new feature — Concentrated Beam. In fact, Philips new 'Infraphil' provides infra-red heat in its most effective, most convenient form. It has a new bulb with a prismatic lens front and a special internal reflector that combine to concentrate the rays onto the actual pain area, giving faster, more effective relief. The new 'Infraphil' has also been re-designed for easy, comfortable use, no matter what part of the body is being treated.
Big advertising and sales support
Advertisements in selected magazines and TV participation spots will be widely used this winter to put over the new 'Infraphil' — with special emphasis on Concentrated Beam.
Colourful display material is available to carry the sales message right to the point of purchase. Dealer advertisements, with space for your name and address, are also available. And special mailings will tell doctors all about this superb new lamp. So, when heat treatment is prescribed, you'll be selling Philips new 'Infraphil' !

BRANCH AND OTHER EVENTS
MANCHESTER Stereophonies
An express train roaring through the room; an electronic circuit of the moon; opera in front, to the rear and at the side of the listener ! Those were a few of the experiences served up by Mr. A. Wilson (Rare Records, Ltd., Manchester) on September 27 to mem- bers of the Manchester Branch of the Guild of Public Pharmacists. Contrast- ing effects were demonstrated with a good-quality portable gramophone, a popular stereophonic outfit and a de- luxe Hi-Fi apparatus that was well be- yond the reach of most people.
PETERBOROUGH
Civic Heads in Attendance
The mayor and mayoress of Peter- borough (Councillor and Mrs. J. A. Savage) were among the fifty-eight guests and members who attended the annual dinner of Peterborough and District Chemists' Association, held in Peterborough, on October 11. The pre- sident (Mr. A. A. Jones) was in the chair and proposed the toast of " The City " to which the mayor replied. Mr. H. E. Hales proposed " The Associa- tion " and the reply was from the president. Mr. S. J. Hopkins (chief
pharmacist, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge) replied to the toast of " The Visitors " proposed by Mr. C. E. Hughes.
PLYMOUTH
Bacteriology in Pharmacy
Sterilisation, disinfection, bacterio- stats and immunology were discussed by Mr. E. Adams in an address to the Plymouth Branch of the Pharmaceuti- cal Society on " Bacteriology in Pharmacy " recently. After describing the official methods of sterilisation Mr. Adams referred to the many factors that influenced the action of disinfec- tants on bacteria, particularly the con- centration and type of bactericide used. The evaluation of bactericides was fre- quently carried out by comparison with a standard such as phenol, under carefully controlled conditions such as temperature and time of action. Many bactericides were too toxic for paren- teral use, and could only be used topically. Bacteria developed resistance towards some bactericides. To reduce that tendency in the treatment of tuberculosis, two of the three drugs streptomycin, isoniazid, and sodium para-amino salicylate were given con- currently, and the third kept in re- serve should resistance develop. Several substances would inhibit the growth of
bacteria and were used in multidose injections to prevent the growth of organisms accidentally introduced on removal of a dose, including chlorocre- sol, phenyl mercuric nitrate, and phenol. They also caused the death of a proportion of the bacteria. Mr. Adams described how the minimal bac- teriostatic concentration of an antisep- tic could be determined by preparing a series of dilutions of the substances in nutrient broth, inoculating with an organism, and incubating. When no opacity was produced, inhibition had occurred. Mr. Adams also referred to problems of immunity.
LONDON Gordon's Exiles
Nearly 100 former students of the School of Pharmacy, Aberdeen, mem- bers of Gordon's Pharmacy Exiles' As- sociation (for former students now resident in southern England) attended a dinner-dance in London on October 13. Mr. Eric Thorpe (head of the phar- macy department. Portsmouth Techni- cal College) was guest of honour. In a witty speech he proposed the toast to the Association, recalling his years as a lecturer in the School of Phar- macy. Aberdeen. Replying, Dr. Charles Clark (chairman) welcomed the guests, and amusingly paraphrased the "birth" pangs of the Asso- ciation. The even- ing's programme included a cabaret and an exhibition of Highland danc- ing, the event prov- ing enjoyable and a happy augury for the Association's future functions.
EXILES AT DINNER: Some of the guests at the recent dinner-dance held in London by Gordon's Pharmacy Exiles' Association.

TRADE REPORT
The prices given are those obtained by importers or manufacturers for bulk quantities or original packages. Various charges have to be added whereby values are in many instances augmented before wholesale dealers receive the goods into stock. Crude drugs and essential oils vary greatly in quality and higher prices are charged for selected qualities.
London, October 26: The shortage of Crude Drugs on the spot con- tinued during the week although the tally men's strike in the London docks was over. Merchants were still awaiting their consignments that had been diverted to some other British as well as Continental ports. Trading conditions were quiet, mean-
while prices were substantially un- altered on the week. Cochin Ginger eased 5s. per cwt. for shipment and Brazilian Menthol was sixpence per lb. lower both spot and forward. Tan- ganyikan Papain was a little firmer re- flecting the unsettled conditions in the Congo, as well as the difficulty in obtaining supplies from Ceylon. Although no business was done, the value of American Lobelia herb was put at around 8s. per lb.; Dutch new crop material due to arrive shortly was offered at 4s. 9d. In Pharmaceuti- cal gums, Acacia was lower, but Trag- ACANth was sharply advanced.
In Essential Oils, Citronella was slightly dearer for shipment although the spot price did not move in sym- pathy. Lemongrass was lower by three-halfpence per lb. for shipment. American Peppermint continued to firm but Bourbon Geranium was lower by 15s. per lb.
The lower prices for resublimed Iodine noted in the report last week did not last more than a day or so because crude iodine was shortly after- wards increased by 2s. 4d. per kilo. Thus new schedules are now in opera- tion not only for the resublimed iodine but for Iodides and Iodoform. Potas- sium Iodide for instance is now 19s. 3d. per kilo for 50-kilo lots, against 16s. recently. Powdered Citric acid was increased by 5s. per cwt., the granular, however, is unchanged.

"BRITAIN'S DRUG BILL NOT EXCESSIVE"
SAYS LORD BOOTHBY
+
PRICE OF MEDICAL CARE CONSTANT FOR FIFTY YEARS
A MOST REMARKABLE FACT
Lord Boothby went on to discuss the question of drug costs. "We are told that it is necessary to curb the rising cost of drugs, yet in fact expenditure on drugs has always represented the same proportion of total National Health Service expenditure. This is true in spite of the enormous benefits from new, more complex, and therefore more costly drugs. At the present time about 3.7% of the national income is spent on the National Health Service. Going back over 50 years, to before the First World War, published figures show that this proportion has remained al- most constant. This is a most re- markable fact when one considers the social and economic revolu- tion which has occurred in the last half century."
Opening Winthrop House, the new Surbiton offices of Winthrop Group, Ltd., the Rt. Hon. Lord Boothby, K.B.E., Ll.D., spoke trenchantly on the subject of British expenditure on pharmaceutical benefits. He pointed out that the proportion of income per head of population spent on pharmaceutical services in the majority of countries which do not have a free health service is higher than in Britain. "This is true," said Lord Boothby, "not only of the total expenditure on pharmaceutical benefits, but, in addition, the expen- diture by the State or private insurance in these countries is also a higher percentage of per capita income than in Britain."
LORD BOOTHBY LAUNCHES VIRUGON
At the end of the opening cere- mony, Lord Boothby pressed a remote control button which set into motion machinery at the Winthrop Newcastle factory for the manufacture of Virugon. A new preparation of the Bayer Products Division, Virugon is the first anti-viral synthetic. It will be available in Britain from Novem- ber 1 st, i960, and is of proved value in the prophylaxis and treat- ment of influenza, measles, mumps, chicken pox and herpes zoster.

to counterbalance
the
restricted
diet
Many patients are consuming1 diets restricted in one way or another
• the low calorie diet of the obese patient
• the low salt diet of the hypertensive
• the low fibre diet of the dyspeptic
• the low fat diet of the atheromatous
Others restrict their food intake because of domestic, psychological or financial stresses.
All these are subject to the risk of malnutrition in its various aspects and the sequelae often bring such patients for medi- cal advice.
JUVEL was designed to meet the vita- min needs of patients in any of the above categories. It contains both fat-soluble and water- soluble vitamins in concentrations high enough to counterbalance dietary shortages and to have a definite therapeutic effect. It is now available in liquid form as well as in tablets.

Certor ) units
make dispensing so much easier
An efficient packaging system plays an important part in any speedy, well-organised dispensing service — as the modern pharmacist
is quick to realise. And efficient packaging demands Certor dispensers — now rapidly becoming standard equipment in modern pharmacies.

identifiable sizes. Parchment, satchels, cartons, screw caps — all these Certor products have their own specially designed Certor dispenser with separate compartments for the complete range of sizes. Certor dispensers are compact, convenient, strongly made and well finished. They are used by British Schools of Pharmacy.

GRAPHITE
BURSTING
Vacuum support for low-pressure range.
LOW AND
MEDIUM PRESSURES
"Delanium" Graphite Bursting Discs are manufactured in two ranges, a LOW PRESSURE range covering pressures from 1—4 psig, and a MEDIUM PRESSURE range covering 5—400 psig, with orifice diameters of 2 in.— 12 in. and 1 in.— 12 in. respectively.
"Delanium" bursting disc assemblies are completely resistant to the corrosive attack of most acids, alkalis and solvents at temperatures up to i6o°C. Manufactured from a high- quality graphite, the discs are precision ground to close tolerances and subjected to rigorous permeability and bursting-pressure tests to ensure accuracy of burst. The discs will withstand thousands of pressure applications at 75% °f stated burst pressure without loss of accuracy. The design of the discs and vacuum supports assures ample relief opening on rupture for the rapid escape of excess pressures.
Replacement discs are quick and easy to install and for standard pressures are readily available from stock. Holders and vacuum supports costs are generally initial costs only and replacement discs are inexpensive.

Winthrop Chairman on "Obligation to Make Profits"
In welcoming Lord Boothby, the Chairman of Winthrop Group Ltd., Mr. L. M. Spalton, B.Pharm., M.P.S., said: "The pharmaceutical industry is a free enterprise institution which to survive has an obligation to make profits, and whose members com- pete strenuously one with another. They compete to find the next ad- vance in therapeutics, and their fine record is so well known to you that I will not repeat it here. They compete to assist the medical profession in any and every way it is within their power or in- genuity to do. They compete to sell and to earn foreign currency for Britain. They compete con- tinuously against themselves and obsolescence. For so dynamic is this industrial quest for knowledge that few drugs can anticipate wide- spread use for more than about five years."
Mr. Spalton went on to point out that it was time that the contribu- tions of the pharmaceutical in-
dustry were more generally recog- nised and that the competitive circumstances with which it had to grapple — and incidentally the advantages that competition brought — were seen in proper perspective.
QUOTES
Answering the Prime Minister's call
"Four years ago we built in Newcastle-upon-Tyne the most highly mechanized pharmaceutical factory to be completed in post- war Britain. Today nearly 50% of the output of that factory goes overseas. Our pharmaceutical bus- iness in Britain is the fourth largest. The Prime Minister re- cently called for a great band of merchant adventurers to sell Brit- ish goods overseas. I believe that we in Winthrop have already be- gun to act in the spirit and the letter of that call."
Transcending National Barriers
" Why do our international com- pany of people find co-operation possible, where elsewhere it is so difficult to obtain? I believe this happy state is due to their possession of a common purpose which tran- scends national barriers, and the job satisfaction that comes' from ren- dering a service of immense value to their fellow men."
Plaquenil breaks through the Iron Curtain
" Winthrop people know no bar- rier of nationality, race, creed, or colour, save the Iron Curtain. And whilst that barrier at present resists Winthrop people, it is not imper- vious to Winthrop products. Today Planquenil, our latest contribution to tie treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, is being exported to treat patients in Czechoslovakia and Poland, and is under clinical eval- uation in Moscow."
THE WINTHROP GROUP
Winthrop Group Ltd. comprises companies and divisions operating throughout Western Europe which, individually and collectively, |are concerned with the discovery, de- velopment, manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical pro- ducts. In this country the Group includes Bayer Products and Winthrop Laboratories. Winthrop House is the new British head- quarters.
CONTROVERSIAL MEDICAL EXHIBITION EXTENDED
"Medicine Men of Today", the exhibition originally designed to mark the opening of Winthrop Group's new headquarters at Surbiton - upon - Thames, has aroused so much comment, and attendance is such that it is now being extended until Friday, the 25th of November. The hours of the exhibition are : Mon. — Thur. and Sat. : 11 - 8.30; Fri. : 11-4. Travelling time from Waterloo station is about 15 minutes.
